So, how do we justify infantry in a future age of FTL drive and magnetic accelerators?
Not sure.
It's one of the things I've been struggling with. I know lots future war doesn't always justify it. Heinlein had more of the political elements. Card decentralizes it. I'm writing it off as cheaper to expend soldiers than neutron/whatever bombs.
I think it's actually more Sun Tzu. Can't scorch the earth, because eventually you want to live there, side by side with your former enemy.
