    going by Ukraine, which is the only footage I’ve seen of real modern warfare: I saw a video of a drone detecting a soldier from high up. The soldier is lying prone aiming their rifle…The drone drops an object. There is a small pop and the soldier dies. It wasn’t a big explosion, you couldn’t even see blood or a wound, probably just enough to be fatal without causing a horrible mess.

    That’s what I imagine it’ll be. A bunch of people sitting around bored and they don’t even know they’re dead until one second they are looking at the horizon, the next second their intestines in confusion as their consciousness fades.

      …Except that’s going to be happening on both sides. Because Texas is one of the biggest tech hubs in the US.
