Swarms of lethal drones is nonsense at best. The Marines can use tanks along side swarms of defence drones. Who the hell thinks up this nonsense?

@mabdinur85 Drone warfare is decades away and then there will be counter drone technologies. And even then armoured vehicles will still be required to help flush out heavily defended enemies. The drone warfare thing is one of those future hype things that gamers love to talk about.

Contested beach landing are still a real thing in a major war. Iraq was not really a war for the US as they won in about 3 days time and then had to do world police for 10 years after. AAV are still required and so are standard tanks and beach landing tanks. China will need to be using trench defensive warfare and the probably are going to do it in a fashion that is not out in the open. The Japanese used it to devastating effect in concealed positions in WW2 even when the US had air superiority.

@briannemacheck1243 US 1990s military tech is still far superior to any other nation.

@mikepowell8611 You are watching and playing too many video games. What you do not think tanks could use drones to defend them self?

@retrobat153 USMC still needed tanks to operate in the pacific. Trust me if there is a major war USMC are going to need tanks.

RMC are effectively special forces without the designation. They simply are not fit to be used as a large beaching landing force or for Island hopping. USMC are designed to wage conventional warfare in large numbers and RMC are designed for unconventional warfare such as behind enemy lines or raiding along enemy lines.

America Air power combined with standard infantry units and tanks makes for a very powerful combination. Why not have both.
