@alcoholbob: Yeah. The last time someone tried to do a soviet-era style tank rush the Battle of Golan Heights happened. That was when they were using M48 Pattons and were fighting T-62s/54s/55s. Hint, it didn't end well for the swarmers.
Now, I want you to consider what would happen if you replaced those M48 Pattons with the far more advanced Abrams. Replace all those T-62s with T-34s. Those T-54/55s? Best tanks the soviets have and at this point are more of a prototype since they started making them at the end of the war. Now, this time, said Abrams goes faster then their tanks in reverse. Why does this matter? Because the Abrams outranges the WW2 Tanks by such a degree that it is almost pitiful. The Abrams has the vastly, vastly, vastly superior detection and surveillance equipment. Has the vastly superior armor to the point that it is nigh-invulnerable to anything they can throw at it whilst its main cannon and its ammunition will oneshot any WW2 tank.
Do you know what would happen? A massacre. To a frightening degree. It would only end once all the enemy tanks were dead or when the Abrams left to go get more ammo.
"But airstrike!"
Yeah, good luck with that when their entire air assault gets rapestomped by modern AA fire and Jets.
Their naval forces? They all got wiped out by bombers from our Aircraft Carriers.
Their 'hordes' of infantry? They get butchered by bombing runs, artillery strikes, armored assaults, helicopter strikes and whatever else we just feel like using at the time.
This is a brutal, and cruel, stomp. The tech difference between then and now is hilarious. "But Korea!" Yeah, that war that China took part in near the end and managed to wrack up nearly 800,000 deaths? Right. Great Job! Throwing men into the massive meat grinder! Only this time, the grinder can grind far more meat then you have to throw at it. Gets even more hilarious when you notice the tech difference is far larger this time and our toys are much, much, much better then they were during the Korean War.
