Bloodless
We've been talking about war in International Relations class, and that's really my cup of tea. I've elected to do a research paper on technology and how it has effected and will affect war. I'm going to take it beyond the "Revolution in Military Affairs" to the fundamental concepts about war and its implications.
It's not hard to imagine, some time in the future, whole armies of missiles, drones, and attack robots. How would this change our concept of war? Would it make it easier? Would such wars come to a faster conclusion with less lives lost and less collateral damage done? Alternatively, will such armies ever be actually feasible, or simply the stuff of science fiction forever? Would having the power to kill but not be killed be too much of a responsibility to bear? These questions and more will be answered before it's all said and done. Stay tuned.
