Meanwhile in other news ships and men go to rot in port. If the MLR is stagnant on the first island chain what use are the robots…oh of course the robots will be the SIF! They will be manned and operated from Quantico, so no need for Marines in harms way!
Just another diversion from the reality of the past 5,000 or so years of man and his wars which have only increased in their speed and lethality. It seems that we are still basically using men and war fighting skills to subdue the opposing force.
No doubt we can look forward to a further divestiture of Marines and their equipment to invest in this brilliant new technology. By the way what after actions reports are available from the manufacturer of the robots in the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip? Might to interesting and good intelligence to know how the IDF is employing these robots in real time and in hot actions in the urban environment. Might be instructive.
The use of technology is here and anything to be more effective and lethal, but the siren song of advanced equipment to make warfighting as it has been and is now, obsolete, is being ignored to a large degree in the Ukraine conflict by all accounts. Lessons learned??
Since these people are so afraid of actual confrontation and casualties, just cut to the chase and contract out troop needs. Also solves the worrisome problems with recruiting. Semper Fi
I'd challenge the premise of this article. Courage is only relevant if there's a need to overcome fear. Robots don't need courage - because robots are incapable of fear.

I wonder how many doors were closed for this exercise?
