wretchard, kudos on the Kung Fu quote!

alexis, interesting about the trench.

Israel pioneered the use of UAVs, I think it was circa the 1973 war.

We are less than a generation away from completely automated, autonomous weapons of all sorts, while Islam is still trying desparately to get back to the seventh century.

Sure, Hamas, make yourself an irritation for another generation, and then look down, see the grasshopper – before it detonates at your feet.
