This is the future of warfare, and i am afraid it will only get worse, much worse.
In a decade or two tanks and soldiers might be remote controlled too, and between nations fighting their playstation-wars there will still be innocent civilians.
They just won't put their bases near civilians, because they won't need people to operate them. Then we can pretty much just designate some spots to put each other's base, defend those as well as we can, and war will be "whoever can destroy the other guy's base first, wins".
Meanwhile, civilians are over there, just waiting for the game of Playstation to end.
Nonsense. War is about coercion. I want you to do this. You don't want to do it. So I hurt you until you change your mind.
If you care enough about an issue, you aren't going to let it be decided by a formalized game ... well, if you lose the formalized game. You are going to keep fighting at least until the cost outweighs the benefit.
