Precision marksmanship is a skillset for which the training will always go out of vogue when there isn't a shooting war, and politicians can be convinced that smarter projectiles and 'smarter' diplomacy are worth more than training faceshooters.
At minimum if we can retain the ability to procure decent ammunition and good optics to the guys up front, relearning these lessons won't be as costly.
Any new rifle platform to be adopted over the next decade should be reasonably expected to fire 2MOA in rack grade configuration with match ammunition, the technology is there, and this is better than the majority of military shooters are capable of anyway.
