This would make for a pretty interesting short story or novella, I think. Two factions at war: one who believes that some fundamental part of identity is lost when teleporting, one who doesn't, with the latter group having a huge tactical advantage since they can just move all over the place anytime, while the former group is stuck with conventional methods of transportation.

I mean you'd have to stretch the bounds of believability to have a society that has teleportation but not robots doing all the fighting, but could still be compelling.
