Grey, your attitude is one way to lose a war(there are many). If we don't develop this technology don't you think others will? Everytime a country has fallen behind on their warfare R&D they pay for it because other people do not stop.
Man is an animal and like all animals he fights. And when you lose any advantage you put your place at the top of the food chain(We have our own "food chain" though it has more to do with survival than food. America, Britain, China and maybe Russia being pretty much at the top.) in danger. And I would rather be at the top.
If you think some new technologies will "trivialize" war then you should take a long hard look at the rather checkered past of the human race. Peace has never meant much on this planet or it appears that way since I cannot remember a decade in which there wasn't a war SOMEWHERE. For all the moans we make over war we never seem to stop it.

Let's face it we will eventaully have narrow beam micro wave small arms. Particles beam weapons and a whole host of other exotic devices. The Ma Deuce should stay in inventory because she is a proven asset. You still see M14's out there at times. The m60 is also used by some units. Yes, the day will come when ma will be retired but I don't see that time yet. Just my opinion.

Has anyone seen what US troops used against Usay and Qusay and their supporters, who were holed up in that villa?
They dumped at least 10 anti-tank missiles into the building.
I wonder if that's unfair?
