Stealth Tanks?

The thing I don't get about the Army and people in general these days is that everyone seems to think that we will only ever have to deal with terrorists in future. WTF? I am prettysure that this sort of complacent attitude to military matters such as the size of a standing army etc will lead to our downfall.

I dont think that army will face in future only terrorists. But tank, that is too fragile is not what i think is way for tank in the future...

It depends on what we consider to be a tank. Tank-like combat robots may trade armor for speed and stealth...
Something like this could use stealth:

Why not put turves on the upper surface and grow vines and creepers around the turret?
Would be the perfect disguise until you moved....
I think the thing is that stealth aircraft fly high in the sky at high speeds... a man with a pair of binoculars has not been the prime method of detecting aircraft for about 65 years.
Tanks role along the ground at about 40mph making the floor shake and kicking up dust...
Maybe the French should stick to making cheese and cars and stuff they do well...
