We already had this "We don't need tanks" conversation roughly 20 years ago. It was actually already decided that we'd get rid of them. Until we deployed them and realized just how useful they are, in a short few years we went from getting rid of every tank, to buying new ones.
I'd rather an attempt to get them back on their feet rather than giving up. I know there's no political or social will to actually properly support the armed forces, but I'd still rather hang on and hope that changes vs giving up
