How do you think wars will be fought in the future?

[her209]

I'd say with a "soldier" using a mouse, keyboard, and monitor to control robotic infantry and vehicles through a first person view. It will be much cheaper and easier to train people. Your "soldiers" aren't limited to only the physically fit. Loss of human life is nil. Its harder to take a robot out of action compareto a real person. The same computer can be used to control different types of infantry and vehicles. The soldier behind the computer can be relieved with ease. Now how to defend against EMP... and recharge the batteries.

EDIT: Forgot to add, the robot can be operated non-stop whereas a person needs to be rested, eat, and sleep.

by pushing a button to launch hundreds of nukes

No matter how technology advances there will always be a need for a physical occupying force made up of men.

The wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield or at sea.
They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall
mountain. In either case, most of the actual fighting will be done by
small robots. And as you go forth today remember always your duty is
clear: To build and maintain those robots. Thank you.

Robotic forces controlled in protected bases. The technology is useful to its user in the begininning, but after everyone has it fighting robot vs. robot will not settle a conflict. Being unable to attack real military targets, countries must resort to targetting civilian facilities.

Increasing reliance upon unmanned vehicles only makes sense. Risk aversion is lower, because all you lose is loss of equipment/money, and not loss of life. Also, not having to worry about transporting a human and keeping them alive you can more greatly compact things. There are so many advantages.

With blasters, starships, and Jedi...or wait, that was a long, long time ago, right?

Didn't Eistein once said.


I don't know what kind of weapons will be used in WWIII, but WW4 will be stick and stones.

He could be wrong, WW4 will be cockroaches vs ants

Nah severed limbs and heads make a much deeper impression!

Foam baseball bats. Ensures that nobody is killed and everyone is given an equal opportunity. That is until PETF (People for the Ethical Treatment of Foam) starts to protest.

If my country is being invaded, you can bet your life I'm going to be one nasty S.O.B. to any invaders setting foot here.

Some would say that the 'Cold War' was World War III and that we are currently in the middle of WWIV against Islamic Terrorists.

They way things are going nowadays, our enemies will be fighting us with sticks and stones. So Einstein was half-right.

I can see how that works on some level, but when you compared the war on terror to say WWII or even the Cold War, it seems kind of pathetic. The stakes just dont seem as high (at least in the short to mid term).

air warfare will be unmanned. already UAVs are pretty capable.
