"Terminator" suits for the US military

This stuff is so cool. Through a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency grant (the same group that brought you the internet), UC-Berkeley has come up with an exoskeleton for the human body that makes a 70-pound backpack feel like 5 pounds. Making it all the easier to kick someone else's ass.

Check out the pics and movies here: http://me.berkeley.edu/hel/bleex.htm

Great news...looks like it will be twice as easy for Americans to kill British soldiers now!

(Hope we're gonna be investin in some hi-tech body armour to counter this new threat!)

It does actually look quite good, but seeing as Geoff Hoon gives our troops equipment the Russians in WW2 would have turned their noses up at, I dont think we will be seeing any British terminators for some time yet!

(Not that the most highly trained soldiers in the world need terminator suits! You big bunch of pansies!)

It wont be long before robots are running around on battlefields, wars being decided by the best command & conquer players.

i saw this on discovery channel...maaan you should see some of the stuff that the US Military is coming up with. Theyre coming out with helmets that work on PURE video projection...and you get a panoramic view of the environment, which will scrap the need to turning around to watch your back.
