Wow. There's a lot going on in this thread. Just wondering ... how much physical fitness does one need to pilot a drone or remote pilot the next gen of jet fighters and attack helicopters? A mate of mine working for KBR tells me selection for these roles is being achieved through on-line gaming? Fitness is optional.
A great future combatant could be a 14 year old, obese, paraplegic aligning to any kind of lifestyle.

Didn't they make a film along those lines? Either way I can't imagine how some terrorist of the 22nd century would feel when the soldier-bot who gunned him down turns on its speakers and then he hears some nasally 13 year old across the other side of the world, hurling abusive remarks about his mother before repeatedly crouching over him as the terrorist bleeds out. |
