65G and Future Urban Warfare

[stanc]

The big picture is that we are no longer talking about warfare as it has been waged in the 20th Century.

That is going to have a huge impact on force structure and small arms.

I'm not so sure about any of that, especially small arms. Why would they change because of demographics?

I think that a far more important issue than the economic aspects of increased life span is the reported high breeding rates of religious folks versus the low rates of secular people.

If that disparity goes far enough, it raises the potential for a return to:

1. Religious wars. (Think something like the Crusades, except with modern weaponry.)

2. Religious government. (Think update of Salem witch trials, Spanish Inquisition, etc.)
