Within a dozen years, the US Army expects to be 1/3 robotic -- since this includes robotic vehicles, one wonders if today's jeep is counted in the percent of friendly fire victims, but we shouldn't expect math or statistics be the Army's strong suit. On one hand, we have the robots from Short Circuit with their shoulder-mounted laser cannon and a heart of gold. On the other hand, we have terminators who carry laser cannons and have still-beating human hearts in their non-gun-holding hands. Either! way, this could be the coolest thing ever.
