Yes, that’s one of the good arguments against robot soliders I mentioned above. We’re more likely to not care about the fate of our robot soliders, and so would be less hesitant to send them into battle. Though it’s still an open question whether that effect would trump any increased monetary cost per soldier (if any) and whether the other benefits outweigh such concerns.
Human soldiers perform horribly in terms of following the rules of war, and above that do absolutely horrible things sometimes.
