Some predict this will cause a lot of issues in the future once we start seeing them utilized more broadly in smaller country to country conflicts and civil wars.
The future of defending Canada's north is probably gonna be with drones/robots. Time to start investing. The soldier of the future is gonna look less like GI Joe and more like Team Liquid.

The sad thing is that we'll become desensitized without real humans on the ground seeing the true cost of war and the impact on human lives. People killed and families destroyed like it's a video game.
