I suspect, though I hate to say it, that the biggest change autonomous war vehicles will make is that democracies will come to really, really love war; now that it won't cost voters' sons and daughters.

Maybe that means war can become just a national competitive pass-time like video games or e-sports on a much bigger level. It's the carnage and damage to life that is the ugly part of competition or sport or combat - if we can save the lives but still allow nations to challenge themselves in competition with others, so be it. Let's sanction the next version of the Olympics and end the concept of war as it has existed until now.

You mean hate. The average person on the street doesn't want wars and the inevitable retaliation. Some terrorists are just informal soldiers that felt like they didn't get a fair chance at fighting back. There have also been rumors about terrorists targeting drone pilots.
