Rumsfeld must be having the time of his life. Appears we are going through a revolution in warfare as important as the airplane and carriers. And it is not massive machines, it is power in the hands of individual troops. The downside is what the enemy will be forced to do to compete. No one can come close to this technology. My guess is they'll have to go to biowarfare if they want to fight.

it is power in the hands of individual troops.

You bet. Todays' hot topics were the rumored DARPA need for autonomus transportation platforms for individual troops. Sort of like rocketman or a souped up Alice. I guess the experience gained in Operation Anaconda proved a need to supply individual ground troops with supplemental mobility devices for sustained, high altitude, combat patrols.

Maybe they'll have turbocharged, silenced, Honda Trail 90's on their next outing into the Hindu Kush.
