Description
Don't think the basic nature of warfare will change all that much even in the distant future. Technology may dictate how we perform it, but I still think even in an age of spider tanks and battlesuits that can make you invisible some of the time, etc., that at some point a human being is going to have to step out onto distant battlefield and put their lives on the line. It's just the nature of war. No matter how pristinely technology allows us to war it, at some point, war will get messy--real messy!
Thanks to all those forces all over the world who bleed and die for the rest of us, and often in an effort to perserve the peace or to enable humanitarian efforts to continue in places where it is so desperately needed.
And thanks to all of you who keep coming back and making comments. I sure do appreciate it.
Jeremy

Quite true jeremy, No matter how unmanned tech gets in the battlefield, somebody has to go out and step foot on the ground and raise a flag. Simplistic, but there it is. One cannot completely remote control a war currrently and not "get ones hands dirty". An excellent novel "Enders War", and "Speaker for the Dead" cover this topic, and its aftermath. From the front lines, in Iraq (again) SSG Hammersley, D. W.
I was sort of hoping in the future we could have forgotten how to make war. I guess that is naive given our history on this planet but it would be nice to think we could learn to do without!
Nice image! Possibly, the suits will be remote units by 2130, and the actual humans will be safe(r) in bunkers, but somehow (jamming and cyberwarfare), I doubt it.
I fear that war is part of the human condition. Our genes inherited it from our primate ancestors and our bodies are basically still "cave men" for all practical purposes. Unless we figure out some way to genetically modifiy ourselves so that the desire to war is removed, war will be with us for a long time. Indeed, much as I hate to admit it, I suspect removing such might be the ultimate contribution to our ultimate destruction as a race. Also, if any such tampering is done with our bodies, I suspect it will be to enhance our ability to make war, rather than to eliminate it. Sigh.
Excellent sci-fi scene... I like it! Hugs
Ahh I hope that isn't true. Well done image, Jeremy!
It´s to easy to see war in our genes, cause it free´s those who practice it from responsibility. the ability for aggression is in our genes (for self defense), but that it becomes war needs a certain hierarchical structure of society and above all believe and obedience. The reason for war is political and economical power and hierarchical organisation where the masses at the bottom follow the orders from the few on top instead of letting them fight alone. Remote controlled warfare may replace the soldiers in line, but the victims will still be humans and that´s why technology is makin war just more cynical.
excellent sci-fi action-scene, congrats!
Lol, that does look dangerous funny sort of way, strange vehicle
Nice formation. Has a nice tactical feel!
Very thoughtful commentary and scene. In fact, the scene kinda gave me the creeps because it rings so true - the grunt soldier will ALWAYS be in there somewhere. Great job!
Cool shadows
great scifi love the color in this too
