Anyone know of any Modern RTS's that are any good? By modern I mean post WW2. One that would spring to mind is Joint Task Force, but I don't know if that's any good.

Hmmmm...you could go for Command & Conquer: Generals or if you want to wait a bit more, Command & Conquer 3 is coming out soon. There's a demo if you'd like to give it a shot.

I have recently picked up LOTR:BFME and I am enjoying it so far, If you like fantasy-type RTS. If Not, C&C3 and SupCom are more your bag

The only thing is CnC3 and SupCom are more future/ alternate-reality games, but they're still a blast.  If you're looking for like literal, off the battlefield into your computer, realistic modern games, JTF was a decent demo but I'm not sure either about the actual game.  In CnC Generals, there's the An Act of War mod (AAOW) that does an excellent job, with units like the M1A2 Abrams, MLRS, Bradley, and appropriate units for other factions.

Oh, and don't forget World in Conflict.  Check it out here on Gamespot, there are some sweet videos.  The basic plot is that in 1989 or something, when the Cold War was supposed to end, it actually blew up into World War 3.  It has all the modern units, and will apparently not have to deal with resource collection and base building.  It basically looks amazing, can't wait for a demo.

Act of War!  Semi-futuristc, but very conventional with good plot (Dale Brown wrote it) and cool units and factions.

bojangles beat me to it, but i'll say it again and again

act of war is a damn good game

it's modern combat in a slightly alternate universe
