Yeah, about that. The crap that routinely comes out of the mouths of chaps like Gaurav Arya and Vivek 'mineral water' Jacobs and retired generals paints a completely different picture, a rather grim one at that.Modern wars need more experienced and educated officers capable of managing theater level tasks.
Drones alone will never be able to replace trained NCOs. The only thing that can truly replace them is a generative AI model, dedicated to command and control, and when that happens, the commissioned officers will be rendered irrelevant just the same, for the most part.NCOs are suitable for tactical squad level tasks - pretty soon much of it will be replaced by automatons even now we see a proliferation of drones and rc weapons.
