Just general question, with in the next 50 years what do you see or think could happen? A lot has already happened in the last 20 years, weapons, tactics and number of things. It's a broad question but I think an important one.

I am not sure that is completely predictable, I see a lot more bots, more cyber, more politics, more "dirty" tactics and less respect

Thing is though, dirty tactics is what works, and also minimizes casualties on our end. I WOULD NOT want us to go back to the days where we stand in a row with rifles pointed at each other and shoot continuously. I know that's an extreme, but you catch my drift.

Spartan Laser, Rail Gun, Helicarrier, Gundams.

I see more cyber warfare and more drones, possibly human controlled robots to reduce casualties.

You can pick out some of the things from science fiction and they will become fact. The rail gun is just about there.

Power armor and mobile infantry if we're lucky. Most likely strong AI and distributed synthetic decision making. Judgement day if we're unlucky.
