Jonathan Moreno, a professor of bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania and the author of Mind Wars, says what people find troubling is that, like with drones, such technology expands the battlefield, allowing soldiers to fight remotely.
James Koutz, a high ranking member of the American Legion, stated, "the American Legion still believes there's a fundamental difference between those who fight remotely or via computer, and those fighting against an enemy who is trying to kill them".
Widespread mobile phone use has enabled gamblers to bet on muay Thai fights remotely, and attendance at Lumpini and Rajadamnern has fallen.

When he announced the creation of the award in February, Panetta said "remotely piloted platforms and cyber systems" have "changed the way wars are fought".
"I've seen first-hand how modern tools, like remotely piloted platforms and cyber systems, have changed the way wars are fought," Panetta said at the time.
The inventory of remotely piloted vehicles, commonly called as drones, will grow through 2017 and then level off, Pentagon officials said, and money is preserved for the new way of war as fought by Special Operations forces and in cyberspace.
