In case you haven't noticed, wars are no longer fought by digging trench lines and lining up across from each other on a battlefield. China can have a hundred million soldiers in uniform and it will give them no tactical advantage - even if it was possible to keep that many soldiers supplied.

Our next major war will be fought with drones, unmanned vehicles, guided missiles and people in bunkers pushing buttons. Hopefully I won't be alive to see it.

Also chemical and germ warfare.

I’m 99% sure I won’t be around to see it.

No war has been fought with any of that so far, and our enemies are not substituting manpower for those either.

Wars are fought for territory and resources. Those require boots on the ground to exploit.

Army Aviation is being phased out. Kiowas are being replaced by drones and there is no airframe to replace Apaches- Again drones. Only thing remaining is Chinook and Blackhawk for transport dustoff/medevac and logisitical support
