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

... snip ...
1. Military (soft/hard)ware does not come anywhere close to being a robot,
so the "three laws of robotics", should they ever be implemented, doesn't
apply.
2. Since the reason for this (soft/hard)ware's existence is to cause harm
and destruction, it is counter-productive to try to apply them.
BTW, including the "zeroth" law of robotics, there are 4 laws. :->
