The US military have had HULC and SARCOS, (among other exo-skeletons), up and running for some time. The problem is they're too expensive to be given to someone who might just die on the field of battle while wearing it.

thing is, do the current prototypes really offer a serious advantage to the troops? I've yet to see one equipped with a minigun and a shit load of ammo...

Not reallyThey're all still really bulky and are a long way off being Iron Man.
Which is kind of ironic since one of the big exo skeleton projects was called the "Iron Man" project.
Also, did someone (other than me) say exo suit?
Who's suit is more advanced? Samus Aran or Iron Man?
