Alright, I will try to respond to all of your points from that other thread of whether a dinosaur war would happen in Jurassic World III or not. I would like to start off with a statement of mine; I believe that anything can be possible, including dinosaurs (to an extent) being utilized for military applications (although that must, admittedly, be super difficult to achieve, due to the competitor being advanced technology). Anyways, lets begin.

"Blue, well, that is my example. Being shot by a tranq doesn't really affect how you start dying from firearms."

Blue was first shot by a tranq gun, and then shot by a pistol, weakening her because the tranq dart took effect and subdued her. If she was shot by a pistol first, I think she could take that (although still weakened).

"Then we'd likely have tanks that would cause explosions that would rupture dinosaur organs, RPGs that would rupture dinosaur organs, etc. TBH a tank would be better than a dinosaur hands down, sure you could bomb it, same with a dinosaur, you could EMP it, but then you lose your own weapons."

Well then, why not "genetically modify" these dinosaurs to make them able to protect their organs from powerful shockwaves emitted by large explosions and RPGs (seems a bit off, but hey, it may be possible). As for tanks vs. dinosaurs, sure a tank is quite formidable, but you said you can blow it up or use an electromagnetic pulse (the latter literally being ineffective against dinosaurs due to them not being mechanical). Sure, blowing up a dinosaur to rupture their organs makes sense, but like I said, what if you were to "genetically modify" that dinosaur to be shockwave-proof?

"Let's put the costs together for having to create, train, armor up, and feed it. That's gonna add up a lot more for an army than creating a bunch of tanks."

Okay, I may admit it there, but I would be thinking that, again, genetically modifying a dinosaur to not eat or drink so much would save you some money so that you can spend it on just creating, training, and armoring it up (well, the ability to genetically edit how much food a dinosaur needs to eat may be a thing in Jurassic World: Evolution if the devs do it).

"Kingrexy agrees, the Indoraptor is useless in the military. Both of these animals would be less cost efficient, it hasn't been hit by rounds for armored vehicles yet while tranquilizers, and it's way to noisy to be an assassin."

Okay, the Indoraptor prototype is certainly not suited to be bred for combat, but you can make improvements to it; sure, Kingrexy might say "no matter how much you improve the Indoraptor prototype, it will never be used in the military", but I believe if you understand the abilities of the rival technology and try to use every genetic modification into a hybrid that counters those abilities of the rival technology, then maybe this hybrid can (barely) withstand a chance?

"And then there's technology, which has already outclassed the classic war elephant for centuries at this rate."

Well, that's true, but if you modify a hybrid that makes them able to withstand an anti-material rifle or whatever extremely powerful weapons, then just maybe they could slightly outclass the technology by a small step (before technology surpasses again when it innovates in something new).

Hmm... nice article from your friend, but I believe genetic modification can help a little if you do it right, like I stated in my previous sentences responding to your other points. That's all I have to say.
