The problem with your "birilliant' idea is that war takes two to tango. If the other side is determined for conquest, what are you going to do, surrender? Oh, that is a brilliant answer.

Than you get the uttermost benefits tactical and strategy and in the cheapest expenses not only in money but in human life and casualities. Think of it. I am the first one to define the new robotics war strategy to totally replace the soldeirs in the danger zone by warefare robotics. So instead of investing time and resources to help soldiers in danger zones, invest it in improving current robotics to totally replace soldeirs. you are not far from that. The Israeli IDF has already started to adopt my recommendations.

They have much more ambitious plans. Even greater than the exoskeletons. This is for a more immediate deployment. Wars are often won by soldiers moral. Robotic pack animals will carry most of the weight. Fifty caliber sniper rifles will have there own legs soon, and be able to aim themselves. Believe me, you want your soldgers well rested and in good spirits, and you want to break the " will" of your opponent. Power consumption is the main stumbling block.

But a soldier never gets a break. When the generals see what these suits can do, they'll just give the troops that much more weight to carry. They'll take away their .223 carbines and give them .50 cal sniper rifles. If you can carry more weight, then damn-it-all-to-hell you are going to carry more weight!

Like the idea that your suit could tell you that you were getting dehydrated or poison gas or radiation in the area... Like that this has non military applications as well. I would guess it could even adjust your temperature in hot or cold conditions.... or at least monitor if you were getting frostbite, etc.. so many ways these sensors could help update you with needed info.

Nothing terrifying here since no hand guns are being printed...no worries as these killings would just be in the natural order of things. Perfectly reasonable...technology in the service of mass killings by gov't thugs is certainly preferable to some individual defending him/herself.
