Are they talking about powersuits, like the kind Heinlein used in Starship Troopers? It's hard for me to tell whether that's what this is, but I've always wondered when they'd start making them.

Until a cheap, EMP weapon is created. By-by electronic advantage.

I hope this doesn't mean that all future wars will have to follow weird, stream of conciousness Anime plots, where all of our soldiers will be blonde schoolgirls, young motorcycle-riding rebels with attitude problems, scientists with dark secrets, or overweight bumblers along for the comic relief.

Cool. "Real life" finally catches up to "Half-Life" - the HEV Mark 4 comes to life ;)

Why do we have to learn about these stories in th FOREIGN PRESS? Because we don't read the american press? This story has been out for months & months.

I don't have the link but I read this story at weeks ago, maybe over a month, off of Yahoo and maybe Popular Science or something like that.

If you'll look at a photo of Prince Charles I think you might answer your own question. Check out the ears. How many more Brits are there like him do you suppose?

Actually, I would expect a lot of micro-bots would be an effective tool, too. Imagine reconnaisance moths, cave-infiltrating roach-targeters, etc.
