Anyone think we can get Arnold to pick up a gun? We could really use him right about now.

fuck that duck
A SWORDS robot shoots only when its human operator presses a button after identifying a target on video shot by the robot's cameras.
These guys can't even tell an enemy combatant from an innocent civilian with their own eyes. How is forcing them to make the distinction on a tiny video screen going to help, exactly?

Sounds a bit risky, really. Admittedly, it would reduce soldier's exposure to fire, but that doesn't mean it'll be safer and if anything will probably scare the hell out of the Iraqis.

I mean, it'd be weird enough having foreign soldiers in your country, but when there are Robot Soldiers patrolling the streets...

Thats fucking cool, is all i can say...

I can admit the iraqis/foreign insurgeants would be freaked out, but all the better from the western point of view.

but that doesn't mean it'll be safer

Actually, i believe that's the point...

And there are no letters to write home if they meet their demise in battle.

That single statement speaks volumes. Scary as hell, too...

Woulden't it be easier for countries just to play video games against eachother instead of fighting? I mean, thats what this is a step towards...

The rules of reality need to be pre-established and agreed upon before the actual conflict begins. This rules out cries of "hey, you cheated" after the fact.

I like the idea to be half way there, and mostly way out there. Wars should be faught in space, or on very tall mountains... by robots. Galactic Pong for the Middle East!
