I know everything about robotic machines replacing our spots in the battlefield and its making me sad to know that the generation of soldiers wont be fighting on the frontlines. Instead remote bots will be the one's fighting for us and well, wheres the pride in the that? I know the robot factor way surpasses the human factor but, what about the little kids who were hoping to fight like the marines they saw as their dad or moms or the ones they seen on t.v...will the military still let us take the place of a robot when we want to? or will they deny us?

Women are already on the battlefield, as MP's. I'm in an MP unit, I am male though so this is unbiased, and they play just a vital role as any man out there. MP's now play a very large combat support mission, and are often seen very close to the fron lines. Now since there is no "front line" since the invasion is long past, the whole area of Iraq is a combat zone, and females, I assure you, play a very large role.

Nothing will ever make split decisions on the battlefield better than 2 eyes and a human brain. Our brain functions outdistance the most sophisticated computer by several thousand orders of complexity. There will always be feet on the ground and eyes on the enemy. Technology is not designed to replace the soldier, only make that soldier more efficient, and longer lived.
Men & women serving together--check out Starship Troopers--we're headed right for it.

It will be a long tome before robots will replace our on-the-ground military forces. They are capable of making rational decisions of what needs to to be done and where. Robotic machines will have a role but not replace the soldier on the ground

How about this as an attainable future there will be no wars or battlefields only people solving the issues of the day with open minds and compromise. Humans have killed enough of their brethren. Be the change.Peace.

Nah... It doesn't matter how many hi-tech gizmos you've got. In the end it all comes down to the "ground pounders" and who holds the most amount of real estate at the end of the day. If you can't hold it, it ain't yours...
