Already happened.

ROBOT KILL-CHOPPER GOES ROGUE above Washington DC!

Wait until they become self aware. In a panic, we'll try to pull the plug...

Just like the knight was made obsolete by advances in tech, it's about time the manned fighter should be.

PD

But But if we get rid of manned fighters, how will Academy grads get laid???

You gots to think about the important stuff like this ya know.

Until we find another job where Academy grads can get laid, the senior leadership (made up of Academy grads that got laid) will never get rid of manned fighters.

I hope not. I would hate for politicians to become more apt to go to war over something because it's just drones and not real people.

Then again it might make them more willing to take care of what needs to be done. It took 10 years to go after AQ and we were only willing to send in troops after they escalated their attacks and killed 3,000 people on US soil.
