Re: Iraq lost too much public support, Iran is the alternate.

I don't think that the U.S. Army is planning on a shortage of humans, per se', any more than what the multi-national manufacturing giants of this world have the past 20-50 years. Instead of planning for a human shortage, they have been planning on making human's obsolete. Non-human robots have been increasingly making human factory workers obsolete for decades. The auto-industry is just one good example of how humans have been increasingly rendered obsolete the past many years. There is some relatively good news here; there are no forecasts on the horizon for human consumers at walmart to be replaced anytime soon by non-human robots. On that front, American's "jobs" are safe. After all, being a consumer is about the only "job" that our government is content to leave for us to perform.

"The US Army is building robots to fight in battlefields in the future ..."

Would you please clarify what you meant by this? As it is, the U.S. Army for many years already has been using & deploying into active duty for decades, robots fighting in it's battlefields. It is important to point out the distinction here.

The U.S. Army already has human robots fighting in it's battlefields, some of them are portrayed to the public with catchy, heart-tugging names like "special forces"... "Delta Forces"... "Navy Seals"..... "Green Berets" and the like. If the Memory Hole is turned down for a few minutes, some people may actually still be able to recall, recollect & remember from the dust bins of ugly memories the massive social unrest that was unleashed upon & spread across America when many of these techinically "still alive" human robots were, theoretically, "turned off"...."shut down"...."taken out of action" and sent home at the conclusion of Viet Nam ......anyone? According to the mental midgets at the Pentagon and it's countless many minions, hangers-on & bootlickers, apparently this skill - soldiering, is one that after it's been drilled & drummed & tortured into a human, and the former human is then sent off to serve as a skilled combatant for weeks and months and years putting their newfound skills in destroying humanity into applied use, can be simply & easily turned off, like a light switch, and the former person is returned to their natural state & condition of human behavior without any latent signs of the killer robot, right? No disrespect is meant nor intended towards Viet Nam veterans. This is a dicey subject to mention publicly, but it seems seems time to put this ugly truth on the table.

Plus, there are still many of the ealier experimental models of these human-robot inventions widely deployed upon battle fields at this very moment in Iraq, Afghanistan and other war outlets. Some of these go by more traidtional names of lower-rung human-robot experiments, grunts, like "82nd Airborne"... and "yackety yack yack infiltry divisionX"... or "blah blah blah platoon XYZ". It's an ugly truth folks, one that no doubt may earn me some flaming here from any of the various breeds of Americans who remain devoted to the war-making agenda of our country.

Out of consideration and respect for those parents of these unwitting human robots who may have their eyes on here, I understand and appreciate that your children are effectively being held hostage by the present war. I reiterate the ugly-truth nature to my comment, the nature of which as I see it, needs to be said, not to purposely hurt you, not to purposely enrage you, but just to get the ugly truth on the table to be appreciated for what it is.
