You can call BS all you want however your simple wrong as one Google search will provide you the truth about drones used by all US forces....
Pentagon says it has seen the number of its drone planes increase from fewer than 100 six years ago to 3,500 in 2006. About 700 of those operate in the USA. Federal agencies such as the Coast Guard, NASA, Homeland Security, and the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration have expressed interest in using drones for everything from border surveillance to finding lost children.
This makes sense, not in the way most people think however. No one would get up and say someone who has played a viode game shooter can get out on a battlefield and survive more than a minute, much less even fire a gun. However, gamers are prime choices for military like situations since video games help develop quick thinking and multitasking skills. Gamers are also probably better at picking out and recognizing patterns etc. All things that could benefit a soldier.
As for future wars being fought by machines, I call BS. No matter what, you are always going to need plain old ground infantry as the backbone of an effective military.
