Only for the country employing them...

That still counts.

Will there still be a reason to back down when there are no American soldiers' lives at stake?

Yes. It's not like the Americans' decision-makers' lives have been on the line in this war anyway.

Right, they're not. They do still have to convince their people and the families of their soldiers that it wasn't an absolute waste of life to send the soldiers into death. There will be no such concerns with robots, because hey, who cares? It's just a small % of funding.
