> you sent other people's sons and daughters overseas to be maimed and killed, so now you fucking take care of them
Wouldn't it be nice if Congress had to guarantee $200,000 per year, for life for each person who's been to war?
That should serve to make Congress that much more reluctant to send people to new wars. Unfortunately, with technology advancing so rapidly, they would probably only have that much more incentive to make autonomous killer robots real, and to make massively more drones. I think they're still going for that anyway, just at a slower pace than it would happen with such a law.
Wars would be a lot costlier in the long run, and it would be like basically paying debt on a war you had, for life. But as I said, I fear such a disincentive would actually incentivize them to send more robots to wars.
