Robot Cannon Kills 9, Wounds 14/Wired

The military has utilized robotic and computerized weapons for over 20 years. These where developed for more effective and efficient combat. Also there is a benefit that machines not human soldiers are the ones engaging in battle. But there is that margin of error and tragically, 9 soldiers were killed and 14 wounded in this misfire. I do believe that robotic artillery is advantageous but they must be maintained and upgraded frequently and meticulously and met. I wish technology could even produce robotic soldiers to fight in Iraq minimizing the loss of life for US soldiers.
