But why should they ignore morale and suppression? If they're
just drones with no AI then this makes sense, but if they're
controlled by an AI that is (or almost) as capable as a human,
then it may well have self preservation as an instinct.

As an SF example, the Tachikomas do take cover and try to avoid
being shot.
