#3 What strikes me about this story is that it hasn't raised much heat here at RB and in most other places.
Within 5 years, our soldiers and marines will have a whole slew of smart weapons. In less than 10 that will include an exoskeleton that is flexible, strong and can do things like stop bleeding until a medic arrives.
All of these things make the strength / build differences between men and women, and among men, less important. Smarts, courage and ability to absorb and act on info quickly will be key. |
