Does military software/hardware violate one or more of these laws of
robotics ?

################################################################
1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a
human being to come to harm.
 2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where
such orders would conflict with the First Law.
 3. A robot must protect its own existence, as long as such protection
does not conflict with either the First or the Second Law.
