Unless some nutcase gets nukes, I can't see them being used in the near future. I saw a History Channel show about Sun Zsu's Art of War last weekend and it was pointed out that future wars (everything since Veitnam) won't be won by huge armies line wars before. Future wars will be fought by gurellia tactics and hitting soft targets. Our military should focus more on supporting small squad tactics (everything from drone intelligence gathering to robot bomb disposal, to improved small arms and body armor) and cut back on massive tanks and bombers.

Smart, surgical strikes are how wars are won in the future, not the RTS strategy of building a bunch of heavy weapons and rolling across the screen.
