| #3 It cracks me up that this is being sold as a combat enhancement. The reality is that this equipment would be far more mission important in the rear area and logistics transportation. For instance, if you have a whole lot of 50-100lb boxes of critical combat materials that need to be loaded on a truck, you can either have a team of four men exhaust and maybe injure themselves, or in probably half the time or less, a couple of men could load the cargo and the truck could be on its way. And what if they need to load 10 trucks? Gulf War I was won with a massive logistic movement across the Saudi desert, that amazed about everyone, and caught the enemy off guard. |

| #1 I saw this thing as SOFEX. It looked to me as a usefull tool for the ARTY guys who hump heavy ammo. Once the technology gets better it will work for other bracnches. |
