Consider how much this costs, and what marginal advantage it will give the troops.

Now consider our low-tech enemy's basic innovation: the suicide bomber. Think of what that has done for them, and what that cost them.

Unfortunately, I think we have become so blinkered that we only recognize material resources and device-based technologies. So suicide bombers and related tactics caught us very much by surprise, and I don't think we've really adapted to them yet.

Technology has affected our ability to think creatively and expansively about the world we live in, and mostly not for the better. And so that's my beef with Land Warrior; whatever marginal advantage we'll gain from it, it just leads us further down into this dependence, which more than cancels out that advantage.
