By 2008, wouldn't all 3rd World Countries and all the superpowers have access to nuclear weapons ? So Nuclear Apocalypse is quite a possibility...Say Pakistan (Allied with the Communists), attacks India (Allied with us), Then we launch our missiles on Pakistan, Retaliating the Communists attack us, India attacks the Communists and so on and so on and so on...It wouldn't stop until the world is just a big crater (as such)...

LOL, no Von, its not a kangaroo hunters trophy, it's the Badge of the Royal Australian Regiment.

Actually it's from the Bible Caparzo From Psalms 144:1. Hehe, you cant really teacheth courage

I think future wars will only be fought in the air or spec ops... Like Solidus said... there wont be mass amount of troops...

------------------

[BallisticWookie]

Yep, it's all about unconventional warfare these days, and with this nuclear missile scenario, if the US gets this missile defence system up and going, there shouldnt be much worry. But still the use of conventional forces still far outweighs the use of special forces, in the years to come special forces will be used be used more but you cant really just depend on spec ops to do the job all by themselves. The rely heavily on the backup of their not so heavily trained brothers.

Hmmm...

Future wars will most likly be air and maybe nuclear.. most likly ALL bombs..

------------------

[SoLiDUS]

Send troops out there and this is what happens :

- they send a nice little chemical bomb on your soldiers.. instant kill.

Will you want to send more soldiers to die ?
No.. you'll retort with some nice missiles of your own concoction.

[SoLiDUS]

All this to say it's highly unlikely mass amounts of footsoldiers will be used.. it will be the "war that was fought from behind a computer monitor" ..

[Cpt.Kickass]

a wr to the future is probably just sending a bomb on a nother country and that bout it

[SoLiDUS]

see me previous post in the same topic...

[SoLiDUS]

Just an update :

Although I say "they'll use bombs/missiles", I know they wouldn't use
anything too geographically destructive. That is to say : no hydrogen,
nuclear or atomic weapons.

If they used these, other countries would do the same.. the earth wouldn't
be able to take it : it would simply explode. Trust me on this.

So stop thinking about nuclear winters and all that dumb shit. It will NEVER
happen.. NEVER.

Worst case scenario : some chemical bombs will explode here & there and the
elements will get carried around by the wind, making some extra casualties..


That is all, my young apprentices. Tread carefully LOL

well instead of a future war, if you lived back in the 40's would you go fight in europe, where there was a great chance you would be killed or shot??

World War Two was mainly fought by Infantry...

My opinion remains unchanged : I would stay home until

A- I'm forced to go, or...

B- The fuckers attack me on my turf, which I would swiftly defend.
