Will the constantly developing weapon technology make the basic military training obsolete at some point? If you think about it, it has already been happening throughout history, like the phalanx required extreme discipline and psychological conditioning to not break formation and this continued in some form till the proliferation of rifling, automatic guns and rifled artillery. Then came the system of NCO responsibility and low tier operations freedom where discipline was not a life-or-death matter but obviously crucial for good quality operations. I think the NCO era (WW2 (maybe 1 too) - our time) will be the last era of human warfare where training individual soldiers will be a deciding factor until it all becomes a massive automated systems control handled by people who are out of the harm's way and should be trained more like cost-analysis administrators rather than disciplined combatants who risk their life.
yep china will absolutely make up for a completely unbloodied, inexperienced military with their advanced technology they stole from the west.
