USAF implementing SKYNET!! Rise of the Machines!!!!
THE use of drones to kill suspected terrorists is controversial, but so long as a human being decides whether to fire the missile, it is not a radical shift in how humanity wages war. Since the first archer fired the first arrow, warriors have been inventing ways to strike their enemies while removing themselves from harm's way.

Soon, however, military robots will be able to pick out human targets on the battlefield and decide on their own whether to go for the kill. A US Air Force report predicted two years ago that ''by 2030 machine capabilities will have increased to the point that humans will have become the weakest component in a wide array of systems''. A 2011 US Defence Department road map for ground-based weapons states: ''There is an ongoing push to increase autonomy, with a current goal of 'supervised autonomy', but with an ultimate goal of full autonomy.''

"Full autonomy" is code talk for "robots that kill people". Do US citizens really think that releasing killer robots upon the world is a good idea? What if somebody uses killer robots to attack the USA? Would there be complaints about that?

Karma is when these generals and other military development cowards who have never been in a real fight in their entire lives drop dead from a massive stroke at age 55 - or when their own robots have a proper malfunction and shoot them dead.
