Foot patrol....Just wondering.....why can’t they use robots or motorized toy cars to go before them...??? Wouldn’t something like that help? Just asking.

That could very possibly result in fewer coalition troops being killed/maimed.But my understanding is that part of the mission is "hearts and minds" and robots aren't good at that.I'm no military strategist so I could very well be wrong.Just a hunch on my part.
