Warfare has always been hell, but now when someone hunts you down with a drone while you’re running away it makes it a particularly terrifying personal hell.

If they collect enough real time statistical data from the battlefield i assume that that will be gamified into A.I. "soldier recognition" to deduce which people are the real threats and where and at whom fire should be concentrated.

HEROISM will be pointed out by A.I. and massacred.

AI (e.g. face recognition) is riddled with false positives. Such a tech already does wrong on civilians without being a weapon (e.g. cameras on subways). What you said is somewhat naïve.
