The premier of the new Terminator Salvation movie has the news services abuzz with headlines featuring robots. In this MSNBC report we are told that real life soldiers love their warbots:
Human warriors have long spoken of the bonds forged in combat and of becoming a "band of brothers." The fact that some of those fellow soldiers are made of metal has not discouraged human feelings toward them. Thousands of robots now fight with humans on modern battlefields that resemble scenes from science fiction movies such as "Terminator Salvation ." But the real world poses a more complex situation than humans versus robots, and has added new twists to the psychology of war.
The report goes on to note the many ways the soldiers are bonding with their warbots and the impact the use of aerial drones has had on ground operations.
