Barry, They may need more programmers for UAVs with artificial intelligence. This could potentially create a new industry for the entire armed services. Eventually, humans will only be needed to manage a group of UAVs as they fly off with their preprogrammed objectives. So, eventually wars can be fought by machines. Human pilots do not need to be on board those UAVs when they're flying dangerous attack missions.
