The first class will be the Harvard types who are students in tactics and maneuver. These guys will use artificial intelligence and computers to decide how best to prod the packhorses of this technology into some very bad situations with absolutely no moral or ethical responsibility for the death of their own men. The second class of soldier will be chosen for his lack of intelligence, lack of initiative, and strong back. If he is shot, the question becomes what the status of his equipment is. Ethics and morality mean little to artificial intelligence.
Human life means even less.
I have no problems with technology at all. We need to try things in order to make us more survivable. We have not progressed, as far as the Pentagon wants us to believe, in the development of these munitions since Vietnam, but the fact is that we have more of them now than then, and this is good. The big difference between Vietnam era smart munitions and Force 21 or the Digitized Battlefield is one of ethical responsibility for the lives of our men and their actions in war. No aviator believes that his soul is being lost due to smart munitions.
