I couldn't really give a stuff about our 'military power' if that translates as being America's bitch, just so long as we can look after ourselves if it comes to it. We could better our chances on that score of course if we didn't have politicians with self esteem issues living by proxy.

That bit about the AI aspects of drones etc is truly frightening.

Military power is essential for a government that wants to distract its population with a war.
