I very strongly disagree with this statement. I believe a drone "controller" attached to every unit is a fantastic idea, and that drones having a minimal capability to engage hostile enemies without direction is going to be hugely impactful.
Oh yes it’ll be impactful, I don’t think anyone can argue that. Horrifyingly so.
I don't think it's horrifying to have my nation's army better able to compete on a battlefield.
