OK, so in a previous Diary, Your Droid Army is Complete, Lord Sidius.., I shared a video of the future of our military – highly mobile pack-robots suitable for combat missions which would easily be adaptable for actually fighting as well, be it domestically or on foreign soil.
Now, to extend the Star Wars metaphor, we are developing ‘Clone Storm Troopers’, complete with the cool exoskeletons which provide performance benefits that increase strength, endurance, etc. A technology that also makes the potential performance of each soldier identical and predictable without concern for the makeup of a particular unit (“CLONES”).
I am afraid that all the 2nd Ammendment rights in the world won’t be able to defend us from our own government after these technologies are implemented. Since we know it is coming, don’t you think it is time to do something about the coming asymmetry between the power of the people and the power of the military?
