Maybe watching original Star Trek as a child influenced my thinking, but I can't see how having wars that are acted out by machines, with the personnel who do the killing physically remote from the deaths their actions cause is the way to go. As Kirk once said, the goriness & the very destructiveness of war makes it untenable to have an endless war...
