summary:
              This article talks about the future of robot soldiers. Scientists and people in the Pentagon predict that robot soldiers will be a major fighting force in the American Military. Gordon Johnson of the Joint Forces Command at the Pentagon says " They don't get hungry, they're not afraid. They don't forget their orders. They don't care if the guy next to them has just been shot. Will they do a better job than humans? Yes." Military planners say robot soldiers will think, see and react increasingly like humans. Robot soldiers are not yet running but there are several hundred robots digging up roadside bombs in Iraq, scouring caves in Afghanistan and serving as armed sentries at weapon depots. 


analysis:
            It shocks me how technology has improved throughout the years. Weapons used to take minutes to reload and now the Military is looking into robot soldiers. Even though robot soldiers are not being used today it is a good start to saving thousands of lives. The idea of a machine doing a soldiers job in genius, it may take a lot of money and time but the outcome is worth it.


reflection:
              Besides robot soldiers saving lives, how will this affect the lives of soldiers that depend on the Military for a paycheck?
