Do you think the U.S. Military (not the Army), will ever shrink

And who will operate, research and maintain these new technologies?

>>34931953
civilians like they already do.

There is a woman in the center of this photograph. Women are infantry in the US Army

>>34931953
the robots?

>>34931832
Honestly no, the military is a huge institution and source of jobs, if not for the number value alone I think we will always have a million or two servicemen

>>34931832
No, Mexicans are cheaper than robots and they import/manufacture themselves.

>>34931971
women can be assigned to infantry battalions, but they usually do the most POG stuff

Vastly underrated post

So even by the year 2025 it will still be for example:
Active: 1.2 million
Reserve: 1.1 million

Just a random number that I autistically threw out there but just a tit for tat sort of thing.

Is there a MOS for comfort women?

>>34932030
But what about DARPA? Robot dogs and robotic soldiers by 2030!

>>34931953
Civilians. Like today.

You know, if I was a woman, I would unironically sign up for this MOS. Bunch of emotionally fragile young men in the best shape of their lives, desperate for affection and eager for anything with a pussy. Screen for std's then line em up, I'd say.
