The next 50 years of this evolution will be fascinating and critical to our existance as a free nation. Watching it will be akin to seeing a science fiction novel come to life.

The military of the future will be based upon Special Forces in control of UAVs.

I concur that this will be a hugely important part of our future armed forces and that it will be relatively much larger than it now is. But I don't believe Special Forces will be the core of our armed forces.

Mass has its own might in warfare. Special Forces can be the tip of our spear. But we will need to retain mass. At the same time our armed forces' mass must be made much more responsive and nimble. How this will be accomplished is beyond my crystal ball.

Just another "IMHO" comment ;-)

Not literally of course, but for such a short statement you said an awful lot.

Very nice turn of phrase. Hopefully, the military of the future---unlike the US military of the present---will also be working hand in glove with an effective State Department and CIA effectively supporting the policy of the president at the United States---and providing significant guidance to these military forces.
