First thing out the pipe is that the Leopard MBT with an unmanned turret is taking X by storm. Everyone is talking about it, everyone seems excited (don't know why we've seen this concept since the 60's) and most are wanting it now.
Ok. Cool. You do you.
It's 2024. If this old concept that has been dug up, dusted off and rebranded floats your boat then who am I to judge.

The USMC is lost. The Chinese and US Army are spitting it our faces and we know it. How the FUCK Marine Corps leadership could have gone off on this tangent, see the huge mistake but keep marching is beyond me but keep an eye on our competitors.
