US Army Testing Robots with Shotguns

Darren writes "The US Army is testing robots armed with shotguns. The robots are called Packbots and have already seen some action in Iraq. It also has chemical sensors that detect nuclear, biological, and chemical contaminants. Maybe I've seen a few too many bad sci-fi movies, but robots with shotguns scare me."

    "How Come" is not proper English/American please use the word "Why" if you wish to be respected when you ask a question.

    No he doesn't; but when the USA do bomb people, they tend to be brown people.

    When was the last time they bombed white people? That would be the Serbs. The Serbs were persecuting Muslims (brown people).

    And the time before that, the Germans. The Germans were persecuting Jews (brown people).

    The pattern emerging here is that when white people move in on Americas 'action', they get bombed.

    But brown people just have to be brown, thats all.
