WTF? Shades of the Cylons!!!! 'GI, Robot' rolls toward the battlefield

Shades of the Cylons!!!!

Howling Hank found this article

From The International Herald Tribune:

'GI, Robot' rolls toward the battlefield

Quote:
The American military is working on a new generation of soldiers, far different from the army it has.
.
"They don't get hungry," said Gordon Johnson of the Pentagon's Joint Forces Command. "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."
.
The robot soldier is coming.
