I'm morally opposed to the very concept of robots doing our killing for us. But I've also never seen combat, so I don't really have the ability to back that up.
There is very little room for morality on the battlefield. There are quite a few people's who where morally opposed to guns on the battlefield but they aren't around anymore to voice their objections.
I do, however, think it's an interesting concept to ponder. Without human involvement war just becomes a match of each country's economy, really.
My point is though, it's a great deal easier to kill through a video camera then it is through your eyes, and I think it's a mistake to use robots; it takes the thought of human pain and suffering out of war making. The next time a government has to consider going to war, it can do it and not have to worry about the killing and death; simply because it has robots, and it's humanity won't die.
