Subject:
Manned vs. Unmanned Vehicles

The value that industrialized societies place on human life high. We spend increasingly larger amounts of money to preserve the lives of our own people; medical spending is enormous, cars have expensive airbags, seatbelt laws are legislated. A military example is found in Desert Storm. The allies spent a great deal of money and had very few casulties. It's cheaper for the industrialized to spend materials than blood. The less industrialized nations, such as Iraq or China, find lives cheaper than materials.
It seems computing power will continue to advance, and that one day we will have autonomous military vehicles that won't suffer human casulties if destroyed. We already have autonomouse weapons systems; the guided missile has replaced the kamikaze. The unmanned recon planes are unmanned, air-based vehicles. It follows that some day there will be weapons systems fulfilling the roll of armor that doesn't have any humans on board.
