Am thinking for tanks the balance has to be found between investment and usability. Many ways to destroy a tank, including much-much cheaper infantry weapons. Their real roles has to be found, probably this war will help to establish this.
>all we had to base this on was Iraq and the Iraqis were incompetent.
For the West another goal of this war could be the testing of weaponry and the military theory. Maybe not the main goal, but a useful purpose. They are long fighting asymmetric wars or as you put it against incompetent opponents, so anything they came up with, inherently will be skewed.
I think #4 6 and 7 are not opinions formulated but development trends. Although here they said it out right that we have to abolish conscription because the future is for the small professional armies. Even back then I thought it's just another scheme in the governmental corruption, and they'll bring it back when the opportunity presents itself to earn from it. Anyway again the development trends root in the reason above, asymmetrical warfare and incompetent opponents. The picked the fights where they could deliver the overwhelming firepower and tech and roll over everything, then fiddle with the guerillas, using tech, intel, and special forces for the chief strikes.
