Report on US Military Developments

[kneeshooter]

Last sentence specifically...

Billings refers to a US National Academy of Sciences report which defines four classes of robot: Searcher, which does reconnaissance; Donkey, which humps stuff (no, not like that); Wingman, which seems to be some kind of remote-controlled light tank; and Hunter-Killer, a platoon of ten unmanned vehicles which themselves contain up to five small observation vehicles apiece. Hunter-Killer's ability to strike deep into enemy territory, no matter how dangerous, should allow the US military to dispense entirely with Europeans, except maybe for sweeping up afterwards.

I can hardly wait...

We should be able to dispense with the Americans in equal turn then, no? I cannot believe they don't realise that people outside America might read this garbage! Oh well, I think someone should email this to Labour HQ and point out that we're not needed any longer, that should sort out things...

Re: We should stress that the Billings report does not say that last bit.

I thought I'd made the source quite clear.

Is that what your PhD is really about then? Building fake-Europeans for Asian and American markets?
