This is another of those "what I woke with" ones. This may or may not also be the same as the movie Universal Soldier (I've only seen certain parts of that movie, so I could be wrong). Parts in parenthesis are thoughts after awaking.
A military android(s) (robots) damaged (must be irreparable or undiagnosable error that makes the android unreliable) in combat is (are) sold as scrap to work maintenance (or colonization). Android(s) is (are) on the cusp of sentience and longs for his/her/its(their) old job(s). Seven Samurai like story like, the old soldiers free a planet.

Robots Antho? Where?
Actually, there's also a contest for Confluence (a con in Pittsburgh) whose theme is "Metal Feathers" that this might fit. But having a couple of markets for such a story would be excellent.
