War is becoming a virtual thing, won't be too many decades before flying drone gunships fight drone tanks while drone jets fight each other overhead.

It reminds me of an old Star Trek episode where they fought wars on a computer, calculated where the damage was and who was killed and then had the affected people euthanised.

And that's not even getting into cyber-warfare...
