Fear the Future

The army wants to build a base for robots.  Not just any base though:

Currently, most battlefield ground robots are tele-operated, meaning they require someone to control the system from a stand-off distance. This method is labor intensive. Researchers have been developing software that would allow the machines to operate more freely, and take the workload off of troops.

That's right.  The army wants a base for robots to call their own, where IDEALLY we would eventually have no one in control of the robots.  That's the BEST CASE SCENARIO.

What the ever loving hell?  The only way this becomes palatable to me is if they change the name to "robot concentration camp" and all the inmates are liquidated.  And by "liquidated," I mean melted.
