Tell me how well that ban on chemical and biological weapons is working out. Lets be honest about it, the art has to be advanced in countries where it might be consider abhorrent to engage in such combat just to insure that when the other guy does use it it can be defended against.
Automation is coming whether we like it or not. If we end up with a world were large armies are no longer fielded and only robots exist on the combat field perhaps we can move weapons to those that incapacitate instead of kill. We can only get there is we continue to push development. Regardless, strikes will become more surgical which could reduce casualties amongst non combatants. Figure it this way, if they become good enough maybe the leaders will be the ones looking over THEIR shoulders.
