[Sabre21]

All of you guys have brought up some very interesting era's. The time periods including Alexander the Great, the ancient Egyptians and Romans, the Medieval times and the Crusades, Ghengis Khan, the American Revolution and Civil Wars, Napoleon, the American West, the World Wars, the Arab-Israeli Wars...all of these and many more have held my interest over the years. As soon as I get thru one time period, I find another that I know nothing about...but of all these...what really holds my interest...are the battles of tomorrow. We are heading into an era where technologies will connect everyone on the battlefield, where even the poor foot soldier is tied in digitally to his squad mates and is equipped with the latest tech. Weapons that are not just smart, but brilliant...that seek out their targets using onboard AI. We are so close to directed energy weapons, and I don't just mean enhanced lasers, I mean blow them out of the sky type phasers, and that the battlefields of tomorrow will be unlike anything in the past with the exception of the blood and gore. Let's just hope we don't get too smart for our britches and end up having to fight the machines we create like in Terminator.
