An interesting thought that popped into my head while browsing YouTube. Do you think military forces will be controlled through computers. Remote controlled robots? It would be like a giant game of Star Craft. Are lives really worth the risk? Do you think that something like this is under development? And I don't mean controlled air planes. I'm talking about full on robotic soldiers, maybe even an entire army. What are your thoughts?

I do believe that more and more bots will be in warfare, but I think a lot of it's going to be cyber warfare. It's going to be a huge war that's in computers. China hacking USA... Imagine how devastating it would be if we couldn't use Lockergnome.net to be able to consider the possibilities...

Eventually, maybe... As AI and precision increase there will be more and more things robots can do...

I do, however, believe that there will always be need for humans in war... We'll probably just see more robots...

Well as advancement of robotics progresses, I'm sure it could happen.

Armies already are controlled by computers. When a general gives a command, a computer[communication device or messaging device] is used to do it. As far as using robots in wars, I doubt that will happen anytime soon because that might lower the death count and piss off our genocidal leaders that organize the wars.
