Then even robots will be obsolete.

Actually, I'm a Computer Programmer who spent 8 years inthe Military on the front lines. The best of both worlds. I'm also a historian and never in the historyof the planet has any war ever been won by machinery alone. It still requires a face-to-face encounter with total annhilation for one side or the other.

Kill Hitler, and someone else would have taken his place. Kill Osama, and someone else is there to step into his turban. However, if you level Iraq and put enough men and materiel in place to keep up an unrelenting assault, and the whole thing is typically decided for good.

Just ask the Japanese, Germans, Zulus, American Indians, and MAoris, just to name a few. When you lose sight of that fact, you wind up with the "MacNamarra School of Warfare".
