Robots dont need lifelong medicare care, VA benefits, and all the other long term costs of maintaining our military.
Well, technically, we dont use true robots, we use remotely operated weapons systems, and the guy sitting in the trailer with the joystick is still due those lifelong benefits.
But brain and CNS injuries are less likely and that huge cost is reduced. Well except for the repetitive motion injuries.
