The U.S. Military's New Warriors: Robots

There have been major advances in the use of robots by the U.S. military. According to Peter W. Singer, military robots are defusing bombs as well as providing protection and defense for U.S. soldiers. But what ethical concerns does using military robots raise?

@MessiiG

They say it's for the saftey of the soldier, but what happens when this technology is able to replace said soldiers? They're good men, but I don't always trust those in comand.

Also, clean the shit in your yard before you complain about the shit in mine, because many countries on this plant have a far worse government, and many others have a government that is just as bad, such as the UK. The thing is, this is probably the least war mongering and genocidal the UK government has been in a long time. That says a lot about them. You're just an anti-American conformist dunce...

@blite13

Also, the bulk of the technology you're using right now was invented by Americans. Americans are great, inventive people. It's obvious to anyone that Americans don't like our government, nor do we like our media outlets (notice the protesters, moron?). They don't represent us, they attempt to oppress us, or manipulate us. You wouldn't know a thing about it though, as you're a simplistic dolt; a conspiracy nut. Why don't you talk to your leaders, and tell them to get a clue...

@blite13

Also, you're telling me to talk to my leaders, while in your inane profile description claiming these so-called leaders to be some sort of mythical, mysterious, unknown creature, lurking in the shadows. You're a mindless fool who adopts ever stupid, radical idea he hears, or reads about, which was simply regurgitated by a fool just like you. Get a grip on reality, you moron. What's next, these "shadow leaders" are going to exterminate life at the end of 2012 with a big laser in space?

@blite13

The government of the UK has been the biggest "exporter of war" for the past five hundred years. Clearly you're a conspiracy nut, as you don't know a thing about which you speak. You don't have an argument, you have an unfounded "idea" that you've adopted from watching countless factually void youtube videos, and reading countless factually void textual comments.

[blite13]

@Points2Shopzzz Who is the biggest exporter of war? Tell me...if you are America, then tell your dumbass 'leaders' to stop invading, occupying and murdering all around the world since the end of WW2. Also, in your arrogant mind, you are not the only country that advanced technology, so don't take all that credit. Advice = break the brainwashing and stop watching your TV as your god. Seems all you know is the propaganda you have been fed from birth = who is the dumbass?

@blite13

The biggest exporter of war? You're FAR off on that one. But hey, since I'm such a war mongering prick, like all my fellow Americans, do me a favor and stop using our technology. You'd look like less of a simplistic hypocrite. Remember dumbass, me and my fellow Americans are America, not the government, or the military. I'll call the messenger a piece of shit, because the messenger is a clueless, know-nothing piece of shit.

[blite13]

@Points2Shopzzz ANYONE who is promoting these machines as needed FOR WAR, yes, they need to be held accountable. I used America as an example because they are the biggest exporter of war...if you don't like hearing the truth, too bad, instead of calling the messenger a "piece of shit", why don't you call those who use all new technologies as an excuse to build for more war? Or do you condone invasions and illegal occupations?

@blite13

Right, when Russia, Japan, China and other countries do it, it's all in good fun, and happy time in the comment section, but when it comes to the US, we see insecure trash like you trying to insult American citizens. What a piece a shit...

We have always been wired for war. To me this progression is natural.
