So, say in like maybe... i dunno, 20 to 30 years time. What kind of war with china do you think we will be engaged in? I don't think its a question of if, but when, and what kind of war.

I think its going to be fought in space and at/under the sea.



Anything on the Ground would be focused on Taiwan, India and maybe Siberia or Indochina.

Other ground actions maybe on Luna if the PRC sets up a base there, if they go under ground or set up defenses there we will have to send in troops, can't just nuke them from orbit.

Space ground combat would suck.
Getting shot in the leg isn't going to kill you on earth. But a Bullet through your space suit would be brutal. Unless we had armored space marine suits.

^Required!

Then again troops would be moving like Jedi, bouncing off the walls and such. Actually moving more like Drunken Jedi...

I think most of the fighting in hard vacuum will be done in armored vehicles, Infantry dismounting to clear out bases and bunkers or to attack along the lip of a crater.

Sooo who sold them the blueprints? It is an F-22 down to the rivet!!!

So espionage or treason is the culprit. Or a darn good photoshop job.
