Repetitive skills like pattern recognition, information retrieval, optimization and planning are most vulnerable to automation. On the other hand, social and cognitive skills such as creativity, problem-solving, drawing conclusions about emotional states and social interactions are least vulnerable.

You sure about that? Ex-British military guy I know says the oath they swear is to "Queen and Country", in that order. I strongly suspect that if it came to conflict the Military would back the Queen over Theresa May.
