I predict two things for this future, humanless US military; we can
discuss it at our first gathering in 2030:

(1)Initially, the "enemy", no matter how untechnological, will quickly
learn to outsmart these machines.

(2)After improvements, our robotic army will always crush the "enemy" ...
at which point, or even at point (1) above, the "enemy" will seek human
targets to attack.  In other words, such an army will only serve to
increase the frequency of terrorism and the liklihood of that terrorism
being carried out on US soil.

"Killing in the name of..."
