Comment on US ‘Gets Its Ass Handed to It’ in Wargames: Here’s a $24B Fixparent

Sadly, the pace of modern war will not give you the luxury of a re-start after a loss. The enemy will be taking over the best houses and issuing occupation scrip and the women will soon be mothering children of the occupiers while the men are in labor camps - if they are allowed to live at all.

This isn't 1850.

No one cares about your women. Less so as a military objective. If they shoot, they'll shoot everyone and the dog. If they don't, thank a war treaty.

Human nature is what it is. Recall the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanjing_Massacre War brings man to his primal base - as we can see in all the brushfire wars in the last 20 years - now we have killer drones - how soon before a killed drone take out a head of state?

Sure. Modern warfare is still war but Im saying no sane general and his chiefs are out here drafting documents on how best to take women prisoners. That nonsense can be pursued by militias is some backwater asscrack not a proper army. That's why I said as a military objective.

True, a robot/drone army will have granular digital control. A select army too - but when it gets bad = conscripts = backwater asscrack in motion
