Oh good, future Skynet has begun with General Dynamics lil dog robot

We can already do that, as long as we don't care about who's in the rest of the crowd.

Seems it was used in Beirut a couple years ago

No, we have precision munitions that pop out big blades and kill the target and anyone within a few feet. We've been using them for years. Their main weakness is being sent against the wrong target, which happens most of the time according to the CIA and other sources.

 

[Rob Roy]

Cool. Drop a few hundred of those in and save lives. Control them remotely and wipe out the enemy without any actual boots on the ground.

Until a pack of them shows up to gnaw your face off for having "too many plants". Or using unapproved speech.

Those things are as big as a car. I'm talking bumble bee sized.

Thanks.

Now I'm going to have nightmares.

We've murdered MILLIONS of Innocents just since 9/11

The total of all casualties related to the war on terror since 9/11 is under a million. So no

more misinformation...some enemies are domestic and not even republicans...

Statistics brought to you by the aggressor nation.

Couldn't possibly have any reason to fudge them?

Believe what you want.

 

[Boatguy]

Statistics brought to you by the aggressor nation.

Again, no.
No nation/state came up with those numbers. They may be slightly off, but definitely not the "millions" you are going on about.
At least base your argument on reality, so you appear slightly credible

cause the people being invaded or occupied don’t fucking matter. You’re a Fucking scumbag.

you'd rather our troops got killed? most of the "innocents" tty keeps going on about aren't innocent, they're aiding the enemy. when a real innocent gets killed, thats a tragedy, and reperations should be made, and the irresponsible operators/planners should be held accountable...when those aiding our enemies get killed, i could give a fuck less, comrade

 

[Lenin1917]

Then you’re scum too. I fought in Iraq. We were the bad guys.

If thats is actually the case, you understand what war means.
The bad guys in war are the opposing force.

 

[Lenin1917]

The bad guys in war are the ones invading and occupying a foreign land killing people who are just defending their homes. Not who your country’s leaders tells you are bad.

No. War is war, the adversary is the opponent. You definitely are not a veteran

 

[Lenin1917]

Eat a dick not all of us are pussies who need to lie to themselves about being heroes. If you do evil you should at least have the decency to fucking own it.

 

[xtsho]

Look in the mirror. You're no better than anyone else.

Then you’re scum too. I fought in Iraq. We were the bad guys.

So what? It doesn't make you special.

Eat a dick not all of us are pussies who need to lie to themselves about being heroes. If you do evil you should at least have the decency to fucking own it.

You sound like a person lying to yourself.

I'll refrain from the ignorant name calling because I'm beyond that. It looks like you have a ways to go. Maybe you'll find your way maybe not. Either way, I don't give a damn.

yawn......not interested in the opinion of any of tty's asskissers

here's the real future skynet, not your horseshit whining about drones, which aren't autonomous...there are real things like this to worry about, things that make the people working in the field very nervous. they're already effecting our society, forcing choices through the algorithms they use to make suggestions, before they've ever had an independent "thought"... but your bullshit virtue signalling and posturing are more important than the actual rise of the machines....

No, I'd prefer our troops don't go on missions of unprovoked aggression and opportunism in the first fucking place.

Since America obviously can't be trusted not to go on murderous missions of imperial expansionism, if really rather the American military take as large a cost as possible.

But we've butted heads on America's foreign policy before and I don't expect to change your mind on this.
