Good Question. And the answer is… wait for it… a resounding, “Yes!” Of course, you don’t believe it because they’re not obsolete today. Pick a date. A year from now? Two years?
They will be sent to the trash help of history. No longer viable by Roby’s, as Robot Solders will be called.
While they may not be obsolete today, they will be soon. Why we say that is because of these advances:
1. Robotics
2. Artificial Intelligence
3. Weapons
4. The embrace of socialism, defund the police, and those who don’t care about freedom, sacrifice. In short, those so short cited that they think their way of life will continue forever if we do nothing, welcome everyone, and protest rather than contribute.
And, of course, because robot soldiers do not need:
1. Food
2. Water
3. Medical evacuation
4. They may not be recovered because they can be abandoned. Who will miss them?
5. They can kill with improvised weapons or built-in weapons such as a deadly punch, crushing strength, a knife that retracts into a fore arm, a club.
6. They can jam local communications with built in technology.
7. Networked, they operate as a team with the team leader being replaced should it be destroyed, incapable of continuing, loose network access, or situational awareness.
8. GPS enabled, these soldiers will know their position in any weather, night or day, anywhere on the planet.
9. Recharging is not a problem as a thermo-electric generator can be placed into a camp fire, heated with burning gasoline, kerosene, or whatever is available.
10. When recharging, the robot remains fully aware of the battle space and able to discharge projectile weapons, such as rifle or machine gun.
Perhaps their greatest asset is that men and women will no longer be killed or wounded. No more long term care. No more pension. No more training. No more caring for disabled veterans. No more… fill in the blank.
