Will pre-emptive war become commonplace in the future? Do think that advanced technology will eliminate the need for human troops in the future? any thoughts would be appreciated

Not every war is inevitable, but many times wars are created from an inability to tolerate the alternative. Human troops will always be included in war, even if it's defensive force against an invading army of clones or robots.

This is a difficult question as people thought that if certain steps, such as the United Nations, Treaties, and Fear of Nuclear Weapons were taken it would alleviate this possibility. Yet, today, we find our country in the midst of a war and being threatened by other nations.
I do think that the end of the earth is inevitable as human beings continue to abuse our natural resources, interfere with outer space, and detonate bombs.

Of course, it's human nature. Violence and hatred are just as much valid aspects of the world as peace and love. The problem occurs when people try to suppress human nature and denounce violence.
Certainly the reasons for these actions will always be silly ones. To hate someone for the person they are is not a bad thing; to hate someone for their race, creed, religion, or nationality is what's messed up. We slaughter each other in the name of the herd WAY too often. Instead we should slaughter each other based on our own individual standards and will.

i think war is a result of patriarchy. for as long as man searches for unlimited power and asserts himself as ruler of his surroundings there will always be conflict between people. this is something that is very old and stands no real chance of ever being reversed...because fundamentally human beings have gained so much power without any real understanding of their responsibility that comes with it.
i could go on but i am at work now ;)
most people who will answer this will not have any real education on the matter only give you biased answer like god bless America or something but they are blind to the truths of the human condition...and no we are not born to fight and make war...people are born a blank slates...without instincts again go to university or college people and learn a bit about the world.
its an interesting question and i am glad you are curious

There will always be those who would do us harm. Locally they are called criminals; overseas they are called enemy. Locally you call the police; you have to send the military overseas.
As long as this is true, we will either fight them pre-emptively (before they have carried out the worst of their plans) or defensively (after they have attacked us in force).
Or we can choose not to fight. This is called surrender; the results are defeat, death for some and enslavement for the survivors.

War is one of those things that cannot be avoided, but it would be nice to have robots die instead of humans. Though that may turn it into a robots-take-over-the-world plotline.
