Western vulnerability to low-tech warfare
Western countries are maximizing their technological advantage in all theatres of warfare, and also switching to professional armies, but this causes a fundamental weakness. Manned and unmanned vehicles require propellant. Professional armies are smaller than conscript forces.
If a large scale war breaks out, combined to oil market embargo and/or disruption, this will possibly allow a low tech force (with low energy requirements) to outnumber hugely western armies on the field of battle, and ultimately cancel the technological advantage.
Your opinions?

Like what the Soviets did to the Germans. It can occur and I'm sure it is a worry to the Western military

Long time no see.
How are you?
Can you give me the HTTP of your thread? 
In the end the war industry will become so advanced that only the Generals will be Humans.
