So I wonder how long before someone decides a computer can fly the drones better than a human can. Eventually both sides will have computerized weapons, and soldiers and pilots will be removed from the battlefield.
This scenario reminds me of an old Star Trek Episode:
A Taste of Armageddon

On a mission to establish diplomatic relations, Kirk and Spock beam down to the planet to learn that its inhabitants have been at war with a neighboring planet for over 500 years. They can find no damage and no evidence of destruction. They soon learn that the war is essentially a war game where each planet attacks the other in a computer simulation with the victims voluntarily surrendering themselves for execution after the fact.
