"Since World War II, the US military has always expected to fight outnumbered. Soon, however, expendable unmanned systems may change that. For the first time in 70 years, America could have numbers on its side. That turns traditional assumptions about tactics, technology, and budgets upside down. "It does flip things," said Lt. Gen. Robert Walsh, deputy Commandant of the Marine Corps.

I'm all for it ! As I have said, as a PL or Co. Cdr I would have liked a couple of T-2s in each Squad … And was US ARMY … Not USMC …  |

Yep, I've deployed with a 17 man Plt and later a 63 man Company. |

It sounds good until the thing gets stuck, sinks into a swamp or cannot make it up a steep incline. Do you abandon them and continue the mission? I still like the idea but I hope they thoroughly field test these things under all kinds of conditions and know their limitations. |

I also hope they make them cheap enough that commanders won't be afraid to use and expend them. |
