    1. This is a dumb argument. Humans of any background are capable of wartime atrocities, and all have committed them. Human-developed AI will do no better. And when AI inevitably errs, killing innocents, they will refuse to give up on it. Things will get worse.

    2. Neither the US nor Judeo-Christianity has a monopoly on ethics. The US itself is a mess as morals and ethics slip away. I don’t even need to get started on religion and all the bullshit there.

    3. A fucking 3-star general should know 1 and 2 above, and he damn sure shouldn’t be spouting nonsense on behalf of the USAF. This jackass should be force-retired immediately.
