A national memorial service broadcasted over the holo news:


    “We pay our respects to millions of our fallen soldiers …”


    “Papa, my teacher says they were just robots.”


    “Robots? Nonsense! More than half were cyborgs, but robots with uploaded human consciousness before the cyborg ban.”

    “Why the ban?”


    “Cyborg soldiers faced discrimination and dehumanization on their return home, forcing them into isolation from most of society.”


    “But why blame them for war?”


    “Good question! We had a draft. We should blame the corporations since they directly took over our government, or rather, the people who elected them.”


    “People elected corporations?”


    “Yeah, go figure. People at that time mistrusted politicians so much that they preferred corporate executives. It felt hopeful, but all that happened was the balance of powers shifted, yet human nature remained the same.”
