For better or worse, I suspect it will greatly expand the frequency of military conflict.
The ability to engage with force where strategy or interests dictate, without the optics of US servicemen coming home in zinc caskets, would be seeing a liberating to many military planners.
Like the Battle of Fallujah. Before sending in 18 yo marines, you send in a couple of thousand ground terminators and swarms of semi-autonomous hunter-killer copter drones that can scoot around and go in doors and fly up stairwells until it finds an optical\infrared heat source than matches it's engagement profile, then zooms straight to the face area and detonates an fragmentation device. Or thousands and thousands of spider bots crawling around on the ground, going up walls and ceilings going after any targets then spring on them and detonating double ought shell at the target. All run by Mil-GPT10 networked AI.
Then the marines just come in later to look for intel and double tap anything still twitching.
