Introduction
The next era is the era of nanotechnology said Eric Drexler before 30 years. As we know, the military applications do not mean only the ammunition, but they also mean comfort, control, and superiority. Weapons began in the world in prehistoric times with simple sticks, stone tools, spears and wooden quarries statistics. Then it evolved to include bows and arrows and the techniques of complex white weapons such as swords and spears. Also, later it evolved to include cannons, guns, automatic guns, tanks, warships, warplanes, missiles and nuclear weapons. Some countries even have mass destruction weapons like biological weapons, chemical weapons and nuclear weapons.

Many years ago between 1955 to 1975, the United States entered the war in Vietnam. The war took a long time, approximately 20 years; moreover, U.S lost a lot of soldiers around 57,522 that means 2876 dead in one year. Between 2003 to 2011, U.S entered the war with Iraq. The war lasted 8 years and U.S lost 4000 soldiers that means 500 dead in one year. We can see clearly that different between the Vietnam War and Iraq war. Because of development in the military section, time and losses in the Iraq war have become less than the Vietnam War. The reason for this development is nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is considered the fifth generation of electronics. The first generation is called the “Lamp” such as the white and black TV , while the second generation is using transistors, and third generation is using an Integrated Circuit (IC). Then a revolution happened when scientists had discovered a microprocessor which named the fourth generation. In the fourth generation, the personal computer appeared. Now we are in era of nanotechnology. Thus, People should
