"Ultimately the glamorous figure of the wartime fighter-pilot will give way to the robot: able to withstand thousands of gravities of acceleration while the human can withstand only 10; needing no complicated life support system; far tougher than fragile human flesh in surviving radiation; knowing no fatigue; never subject to doubt, despair, or pangs of conscience; merciless."
"(Eventually) the individual human in war will no longer be the hero of romantic history, but only a shivering, naked hostage to fortune: a victim."
- Gerald K. O' Neill, from the book "2081"

Hmmm. The history of technology suggest that things technological will get smaller and faster and more complex and be able to accomplish more tasks, whether we want them to or not. How'd ya like to be hunted down by a robot three feet wide that can fly at Mach two, see through walls, recognize you from 20 miles away, and carry 50 different weapons?
