No need to have soldiers fight with Americans when the Marxist takeover happens. Just position a few of these near the protest march and let the puppies off the leash.

That is exactly right. No need to worry about troops following orders, right?

About 65 years ago I read a comic book that presented this argument. It was the battle of Armageddon and the soldiers wanted to fight but the Generals sent in the robots, after they got whipped, The angels came down and took the robots up to Heaven, left the generals behind.

As Junior Samples would say, Truth is stranger than fact.

Our “leaders” and the people who protect them live somewhere too. Things could get ugly with violent punishment of citizens.

“That is exactly right. No need to worry about troops following orders, right?”

When this happens, look who the troops are going to be and look who the leaders are going to be. After the purge is completed, the ones left to control the robots will be the hardcore lefties.

Re: “The angels came down and took the robots up to Heaven, left the generals behind.”

Did General Colin Powell escape judgment by claiming to be a “Republican” robot?

This would also cut off a major source of leadership. Consider that all but two Presidents since WWII have served in the military, and 3 of 4 of those enshrined on Mount Rushmore had military experience. If you removed these people, you have left those who’s could only defend a thesis.

Good. The sooner we can replace our military with robots, the sooner we can prevent soldiers from needlessly giving their lives in combat. Technology is savior of civilization.
