> The implicit contract in war is that soldiers are legally authorized to kill because they are risking their own life. Killing people at a distance without risking anyone's life on the side of the shooters, breaks that "contract", is fundamentally unfair and fuels terrorism, because terrorism is the only possible answer. I don't think there's any sort of human risk contract like that in war. Wars fought entirely between human armies still produce spite on opposing sides. Going back to your point about calls, humans and machines call me to ask for polling information, telemarketing, etcetera. I'm not okay with them wasting my time, whether they're human or machine. However, I'll tolerate it below a threshold as part of the costs of having a communication channel. Beyond that threshold I would consider alternate measures like changing my phone number, getting rid of my phone, or paying for a screening machine or service.
