I thought that this was a very intriuging story and that people sgould keep trying to make robotic suites and after that maybe make stronger exosceleton legs and arms for amputies and disapled people.

Wow. And just when I thought it wasn't possible for our country to waste any more money on the military.
Hey, geniuses! Bridges are collapsing! Our school system is terrible! People are starving! But you go off and have fun with your war toys, you overgrown children.

Ryan- So because we have problems in our country we should give up protecting our country. Do you realize the advancements we have in our society because of the military. From the extensive use of paved roads (rome) to the internet, to satelites, to most of our improvements in medicine, the military drives invention and innovation. So while I agree that we shouldn't start wars, and pick fights, lets not through the baby out with the bath water. Those bridges that are collapsing can be fixed more easily if the posts and pillers can be carried around by a super robotic human. Imagine the speed that schools can be built if all the supplys can be quickly transported. Don't try and stifle innovation.

SWEET! Throw some missiles on the arms and add a jet engine on the back and we have the real Iron Man.

With all our technology, bombs, manned and unmanned planes, spy satillites, cell phones and communications technology that connects leaders of military back in the United States and Britian, we are still unable to defeat people who seek to set up God in governments around the world. All the enemy has to do is stop the oil flow and we won't be able to transport any new gadgets.
"Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit saith the Lord."
Remember God wins wars with the weak things of this world, small numbers against many, women, and sounds in the night that frighten the enemy. We have God. Lift up His standard of decency and the world will run to us to embrace us and we will be honored again.

Marie: We could easily end the current conflict in Iraq and even in Iran and North Korea. Drop a couple nuclear bombs and it will be done. Obviously this is morally unthinkable, but in WWII for the first few years we felt equally opposed to killing civilians; we made great efforts to avoid civilian deaths (as we do now in Iraq). However, it was not until we started indiscriminate bombing in Japan and Germany that the tide turned, and the war soon ended. I am not advocating wide scale bombing, but the point is that we can end this war very quickly using our technology. Perhaps it is that knowledge that is keeping Iran and N. Korea from stepping over the line. Foreign oil or not, we can do it.
