War crimes, for the most part, aren't some battle-frenzy or blood-lust, they are either a deliberate tactic or lack of discipline. Nanking wasn't soldiers gone crazy from war, it was deliberate punishment and demoralization of the Chinese. Also see more recent conflicts in Africa. As far as lack of discipline, see the US Vietnam war. It just seems to me that we already have "robot" soldiers -- tanks, plans, bombs, artillery. When the purpose is to terrorize and demoralize an enemy's population, they're not going to have robots doing it.
