When you trust a machine to hoover the room then you can give start to think about giving it a rocket launcher!!!!

What's wrong with sending robots out to fight?

Dominance and devistation without need for risking man power. It's the ultimate military aim.

Honour is not something that applies to war any more it's all about who has the best toys and who can put the best spin on the war.

Wars would be more readily backed when the only real cost was financial rather then in life and blood of troops

it would also be highly motivating as who would want to fight any enemey that was relentless, never gave up, never tired, never slept, never worried about it's friends or family, never felt pain, was immune to psychology and generally out to kill you a squidgy flesh thing while it was a lot hard even to dent.

"I've oft been told by learned friars
That wishing and the crime were one
And heaven punishes desires
As much as if the deed were done.

If wishing damns us, you and I
Are damned to all our hearts content.
Come then we may at least enjoy
Some pleasure for our punishment..."
