That was my first thought too! All that carnage and no PTSD - because it wouldn't actually be any body's fault!

Get your war on!

I do, yes. Would you rather see us send our soldiers to be maimed and killed in place of machines? Or would you prefer that we just use area-effect weapons that keep our soldiers safe, but can't discriminate between combatants and civilians?

I'd rather you stop being a boring troll, and everyone else stop responding to the world's most obvious troll.

Your entire MO here is to post the most cliche chickenhawk stereotypical nonsense, with the occasional 'oh that's cool' post in some UFO thread in a half-baked attempt to make it look like there's any reason you even read or post at all on a board 100% contradictory to your supposed 'views'.

And the move toward DARPA's total information awareness global grid
battlefield control, ( real life Terminator Skynet )...marches forward

One article says they use an xbox controller for some of these vehicles.

Remember when the government used to say violent video games were bad? Now they make the violent video games
