Part
4 - What could possibly go wrong?
Armed
with a budget of over $700 billion for the coming year – which will
likely continue to grow over the course of Trump’s
Pentagon-controlled presidency — the Pentagon’s dystopian vision
for the future of the military is quickly becoming a question not of
if but when.
Not only
does it paint a frightening picture for future military operations
abroad, it also threatens, given the rapid militarization of law
enforcement, to drastically change domestic policing.
The
unknowns here are beyond concerning. And the unintended
consequences of manufacturing a self-policing army of self-aware
killing machines – without human emotion, experience, or conscience
– could quickly become devastating. Worse still, they are, like
genies let out of bottles, not so easily undone.
