You're suggestignthe US can fight a conventional ground war and invade a foreign country without armor units? SF, Infantry and the Air Force are all that's needed to defeat, suppress and occupy an enemy force?

How long has it been since we needed a better MBT? The improvements in capability of the M1A2 over the initial fielding of the M1 is greater than that of the original M1 to the M-60. It IS a new tank, and it came online around 1990. How many militaries that aren't inexorably allied with us have developed an MBT since 1980, that can come close to outclassing an M1A2?

It would be a feasible option but would it happen........not likely in the foreseeable future.

Tanks do serve a serious role on todays battle field. They offer tremendous mobile support and offer psychological superiority. The 120mm cannon doesn't hurt!
