As far as the MDAR goes, I'll believe it when I see it actually gets deployed in-theater, which like many things tested by the Corp, would probably be never I still remember how our EOD team's little IED robots failed to work in the field like half the time because the battery just gets destroyed by the heat. |

Navy’s UCLASS Could Be Air to Air Fighter:
"Manazir contemplated the possibility that that the UCLASS, which is primarily being designed for the intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and strike roles, could be used as a flying missile magazine which could supplement the firepower of the F/A-18E/F and F-35C Joint Strike Fighter in air-to-air combat as a robotic wingman of sorts." "“Maybe we put a whole bunch of AMRAAMs (Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile) on it and that thing is the truck,” Manazir said. “So this unmanned truck goes downtown with—as far as it can go—with a decision-maker.” In Manazir’s vision the UCLASS could be commanded remotely from a Northrop Grumman E-2D Hawkeye or a Lockheed Martin F-35C Joint Strike Fighter flight leader."

In the future there will be two wars: <<inside and out>>.
In the future our minds wil be uploaded, and we will live in the virtual world most if not all the time. In the future the ones who control the system will be at war with each other <<outside>>. In the future everyone else will be at war with each other <<inside>>. <<Outside>> the war will be fought with money and programming just like today. <<Inside>> the war will be fought with <<Incarnation>>. In the future the world <<inside>> will much more literally than today exist in the minds of everyone. In the future input from the mind influences the world as much as the other way around. <<Incarnation>> is input from the mind such that the world bends out of shape. <<Inside>> this will be possible. This is war <<in the future>>.

And with that I'll leave you with the quote from the TF2 sniper; At the end of the day, as long as there are two people left on the planet, someone is gonna want someone dead.

To put it another way, if your idea of world peace is to change humanity, then you don't understand the rules very well. If the humans are not required to stay the same, then you can simply kill everyone and replace them with your ideal species instead. But then again, many wars are started because people think they can remove undesirables. At which point you haven't removed war; you simply STARTED a new war.

My point is that this isn't new. Simply "removing those in the way of my perfect world" is how many wars got started. That's really the paradox; that it isn't just evil people who start wars, but well meaning people too.

The people who use Darwinism as an argument for wars, are not trying to kill the weak or incapable; they are trying to kill people they personally don't like. Now, since the people who try that tend to die horribly themselves, the argument seem to be that manipulating Darwinism is a lost cause. Anyone who is truly weak or incapable would die on their own. And if you have trouble killing them, by that logic they are not as weak as you say they are.

What is "Power"?
In the narrowest definition, it means the ability to survive and passing the genes to another generation. But human is more than that. Because of the social structure, "Power" it also means to ability too keeping society intact, and developing it. And since our life has so many aspects, power also has many, many source. Mental Fitness as well as Physical Fitness. Intelligent as well as Compassion. Money as well as Knowledge. Let it be free. No one can see every possibility, all source of power, right? Wars only returned the definition of "Power" to its natural, crude meaning. |

So now let's assume that they are correct, and that their increase in GDP in a short period of time is due to their race's superior intelligence and strength......... Quote:
From a cardinal perspective they are still the weaker ones, and it is just more filtering to be done. P.S I am looking at this perspective from a devil's advocate point of view. I am not, by any means, a facist or a racist.
