The Perfect Soldier

By Bo Widerberg

"Not another war!" screamed General Stronghold. He was sitting in the regular war meeting with four other generals and one civilian citizen. "How are we explaining this to the civil population?" asked his second in command General Wishbone. "Well I read an article last weekend," said the civilian, Theodor Brown, at the table. "it was about this Professor Harding that had put monkey brains into metal bodies, and made cyborgs, with good results. Professor Harding says he is ready to try it on a human subject." "Send him to our military installations, if he objects double his pay," said General Stronghold. Then looking at Teddy Brown he added, "It'll be your job to find out what company can manufacture the metal bodies." "Will do," answered Teddy Brown.
Professor Harding said a flat no to the idea to move his laboratory to a military installation. When he was told he would get two hundred thousand a year, he quickly changed his opinion and had his entire lab moved to Pentagons new location. The first try, on a man that had a car accident where his chest was crushed, but his brain intact was a total success. In less than a year, several hundreds of cyborgs had been produced, all with total success. When the first hundred of these robot soldiers were sent to a south Asian country to fight the terrorists, it was a total success again. Even the local citizens loved the tin-cans and thanked them for ending this stupid war. The success was so big, that General Stronghold decided to become a cyborg himself. This was the time when too highly intelligent men had an accident, and to save them from dying they were both made into cyborgs. Now started the cyborgs to in secret produce more of themselves, and the world was changed forever.

War!!" Shouted General Stronghold with an upset voice. He was known as a negotiator rather than a brutal forceful enforcer. The other members of the meeting looked surprised at him as he was usually the quite one. And observed what was happening, and what was said at these quickly called for war meetings. General Stronghold was one of the few invited, because of his brilliant military knowledge and his negotiation skill.

And what are our own people going to say, he continued. About this new war, and by the way where can we get enough soldiers for another war? We are fighting on too many fronts already, and there are no new equipment’s that needs testing, said this senior General, General Stronghold, at this quickly assembled war meeting. He was sitting in his regular chair, a comfortable leather armchair, with his coffee served on the teak table. There was seating for only six people at this table, five Generals and one civilian.

Then also, commented his second in command, General Wishbone. What about the world opinion about this new war, the United Nation will never okay another war, even if Al-Qaeda is behind it, and what about the country we are now to attack with bombs, rockets and unmanned air-robots, or drones?

One of the senior consultants a Mr. Theodore Brown, the only civilian that had a permanent seat among the top brass at the Pentagon. He looked at the five high-ranking officers and said. "I read in one of the scientific journals last weekend, about moving brains into robot bodies. It has so far, by the article, been hundred percent successful when using
