Until tax payers start getting pissed off at the replacement cost of robotic 
fighters that do more damage to themselves than the opposition.

Of course, if the error the robot is guilty of is blowing up non combatants, 
then there are folks who'll get pissed off at that.

So, we're back to the robot having to be better than human before it can be 
deployed.
