Really, we are going to be so screwed when the military succeeds in making robot warriors, as even something seemingly benign attacks:

When a South Korean woman invested in a robot ... the idea was to leave her trustworthy gadget to do its work while she took a break from household chores.

Instead, the 52-year-old resident of Changwon city ended up being the victim of what many believe is a peek into a dystopian future in which supposedly benign robots turn against their human masters.

...

Unable to free herself...

And so the robot revolt begins....

Can you imagine if someone was, say, sitting naked on the floor, meditating or something, with one of those things on the prowl?

Given that a little vacuum cleaner put her in agony and required the fire department to help her, you are really not going to like what this is going to do to you:

And the militaries of various countries, including the U.S., are seriously working on robots to kill people:

Don't concern yourself about the "Geneva Convention" rules mentioned there; the U.S. ignores that whenever it pleases (ever heard of "enhanced interrogation?"—the U.S. hanged enemies after WW2 who did exactly the same things, but that did not stop the U.S. from doing these things recently).

It will come.

Personally I am a pacifist if any war should be fought and I had a army I would use sleeping gas grenades, tranquilizer guns, and bullet proof shields. War should not be a display of violence, but a means to peace and resolution between two disputing people. Robots should be used to prevent human casualties in war.

No Kill No Alert Phase, FTW!!!!
