History hasn't ended after all. We now live in a world with robot armies enforcing kill zones across thousands of square kilometers. How long before we all live within their firm embrace? We watch the stage being set for either control or obliteration. I'd say I pity the young but at this rate the old may be around to see too much too.
Human soldiers will continually be seen as the weak link in the kill chain. As technology improves, fewer and fewer humans will be in command, until they start to ‘command’ themselves, and it’s game over.
We are right now living in the world of Science Fiction.
Minimal Spoiler:
> Nearing Eminiar VII, the Enterprise receives a message from the planet warning them not to approach, but Ambassador Fox orders Captain Kirk to proceed. Kirk, First Officer Spock, and additional security personnel beam down to the planet, where they are met by representatives Mea 3 and Anan 7. During a supposed attack by Vendikar, Anan 7 explains that the war is conducted as a computer simulation, and that the Enterprise has been "destroyed" in the attack. The two planets have a treaty, according to which they must kill the "victims" of every simulated attack. The crew are therefore expected to report to Eminiar's disintegration chambers for execution, and Kirk's party is taken captive.

I was thinking more of the lines of terminator mixed with the bell riots type of setup but... interesting.
