Antonio Salinas's thought provoking article 'Will Fearless andTireless Robots Lead to More Terrifying Wars' makes great reading. It provides some important context for Mick Ryan's portrayal of the battlefield application of autonomous ground systems such as the PLA's 'beetles' in 'White Sun War'. The battlefield use of such lethal robotic systems is incredibly frightening and likely to be very difficult for soldiers to confront and defeat.
The article shines a light on the evolution of close combat operations of the 1940s and 1950s as described by SLA Marshall in 'Men Against Fire: The Problem of Battle Command'. Close combat is becoming much more lethal in the 21st Century. The selection and development of leaders at all levels will become increasingly important if we are to survive and win.
