        Smart idea. Surprised the military hasn't already got something like this already. In addition to medication they could pump a soldier with adrenalin and other substances that could improve his or her performance.

        The military is looking into exoskeleton suits, too -- who knows what's being cooked up by DARPA?

        They used to give the air force pilots amphetamines :o :P 8)

        Don't think it will happen for a while. New technology was slashed yesterday by the defense secretary. Gates announces major cuts in defense budget.

        Is that a Type? Should it be offense secretary.

        Offense secretary would imply we are always on the run rather then ready to fight...

        Great, so their going to make an environment suit that's useless against radiation, barely contains 5 seconds worth of oxygen underwater, can't take bullets at all, and generally does NONE of the things one would expect a environment suit to do?

        There have been ideas to create an analiser that automatically pumps a clotting agent if an injury is dected...(injury meaning something that could cause major bleeding.
