    That will be part of it.

    Also most wars will be waged in mega cities.

    The new technology. I didn't do it. The drone made up its own mind.

    Wars will continue to be fought with a blend of old and new weapons. Every new offensive weapon generates new defensive weapons. New tactics will generate new responses to those tactics.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    A great deal of new tech throughout the ages have been from military or exploration tools adapted for civilian use.

    Read Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" which points out the need for advanced technology and "the mobile infantry" i.e. boots on the ground.

    One problem with the United States is we are always "fighting the last war", i.e. using the weapons and tactics that worked in the last war we fought until we finally see what it will actually take to win. By that time of course there are hundreds, in not thousands, of dead American soldiers.

    It is often touted by car enthusiast that racing improves the automobile. I submit that it not racing but combat that does so. Superchargers, rear view mirrors, disk brakes, self steering and much of the electronics on modern motor cars came about because of combat missions since WW1
