We can only hope, but I doubt it...2,500 years after the phalanx and the Roman legions, we still have infantrymen (excuse me, infantrypersons), don't we?

A lot of those years were wasted filling out warranties and registering for prize drawings.

Funny, but the point was that even though the rifle replaced the sword, artillery the elephant, motorized vehicles rplaced the horse cavalry, it still somes down to mano-a-mano.

Technology merely changes the way we kill, it never changes the way you win a war.
