The technology being applied to warfare today is beyond frightening.

We will get to a point where one man will issue a command, and thousands of unmanned fighters and bombers automatically lift off, travel half way around the world, seek out targets, attack, return and refuel, and continue to patrol a country's airspace for months until all targets are destroyed....

That's some scary shit - and we might just see it in our lifetime.
