Fascinating, but we're on the topic of the limits of man's inhumanity to man -- which is totally different.
Warfare is a permanent feature of the uman being,and it's only our ability to empathize which keeps us from totally destroying one another. A machine canot do that, nor will one ever be prgrammed that is capable of that. The echanics of the human brain cannot be completely transfereed to a hunk of machinery.
And you, my friend will rue, and I mean RUE, the day if your vision becomes reality and Commander Data decides you are a fitting target. Any robot/android/machine capable of being self-aware and completely automomous will go off the tracks.
Oh, and while we're at it:
"the day will come when the airplane will completely dominate the field of battle." -- Billy Mitchell.
That day is nearly at hand.
But they'll be little autonomous robotic planes. Swarms of 'em.
