Defense Expert Says America's Greatest Weakness Is Lack of Stomach for Human Suffering

The ONE Weakness That Could Lose Us the War With Iran
What was said
"We do not have the stomach for the fight in human suffering. And that to me is why this investment into robotics really makes a lot of sense where you want autonomous armies because it solves our critical vulnerability. If you can put boots on the ground that are robot boots, that is a complete change of how Americans are going to view armed conflict."
A defense expert identifies America's intolerance for casualties as the nation's critical vulnerability, arguing that autonomous robot armies would fundamentally transform how Americans accept armed conflict. He contrasts this weakness against America's greatest strength: outspending all other militaries by at least double.
