Warfare, destruction, and death form a story as old as humanity, and it is likely the future will not escape it, for it is endemic to our species. In all ages it is the first responders--the rescuers--that bear the brunt of the horrors and heart-wrenching scenes that must be faced. In the near-future AI controlled 'bots may become the rescuers.
