As interesting as that would be, I'm of the opinion that the less said the better..
No need to let the bastards out there, in on how we're going to kill them ---- when it's their turn.

I think we will see shrinkage of the "heavy army" as we know it today....
Expansion of Special Forces, Rangers, Recon, Focused Whack teams, SEAL Teams, etc... all light and highly mobile - backed by high tech and instant airpower is in the future... I hope...

I hope so too. But the downside is that with 12 man type groups routinely going way into indian country supported only by air, sometimes weather or other factors will leave them all on their lonesome, and they will get overrun, captured, massacred. But that has to be known by the guys signing up for specops. "Beam me up Scotty" will not always be available when you are surrounded by 500 enemy who have you bore-sighted.
