Technology is changing all around us and that doesn't stop it from reaching the military. In fact the Military is one of the leader in technologies today. Just think if everyone around us is coming out with new and improved designs and were still using a 17th century musket I think we would be screwed.
One of the common example of the changing in technology when you compare sniper rifles. Back long ago the main sniper rifle was the Springfield. The Springfield could kill from a distance of 600 yards 3 to 400 effectively. Today the big bad sniper can shoot a lot longer. It can shoot over 2 miles and effective to a mile and a half. It broke a record for the longest shot kill.
Today the technology in weapons is so great that a team can get in do the mission finish the mission and get out and never have been heard because of the advancements in guns and silencers.
There is also something that we use which is a drone plane. The drone plane is unmaned and sent into dangerous parts maybe to lay down some bombs or in worse case a nucular missle. (Haven't had to do that for a while.) The drone is such a sleek design. It is amazing to me how a plane can fly without having anyone flying it in the plane. That is the definition of technology doing something that extrodinary and great.
I think that if they keep coming out with stuff then the United States will still be the strongest and most powerful nation that it is today.
