Re: Humans will always have the most important battlefield role

Why do you think perfect identification of enemy combatants vs civilians would cause MORE civilians to be killed? If they want to kill a lot of civilians now that's easy - save the money on the GPS guided bombs and just drop planeloads of WW II style ordnance at random in heavily populated areas.

So it is pretty obvious they are trying not to kill civilians now, though they still do - sometimes through mistakes in identification and sometimes because the bombs miss their targets or the targets aren't set properly.
