The US Army Is Serious About Developing Invisibility Cloaks!

This sounds great but, pardon me for being practical, HOW MUCH is this going to cost? And, please, don't give me the "cost doesn't matter because it might save lives" argument. The large pot of money that has been thrown at that argument, with little to show for it, is WHY cost matters.

I don't need this, I got my ACU's, they blend in with everything. Those cloaks will probably get shelved next to the bomb sniffing elephants.

I hope so, my wife really wants one.

I'm all for High Tech warfighting... the TrackingPoint "smart gun" for instance... BUT when IT hits the fan it's important that soldiers and sailors are still able to function when it fails. Seal Team Six is the group of badass mofo's that they are because Richard Marcinko had them out at the range sending more rounds downrange than the entire Marine Corps.

I think back to Desert Storm... we were running short on batteries for NVG's and started raiding the Game Boys, the "care package supply chain" was working better.

My point is that you don't want the mission to fail because some PFC dropped his gadget and didn't have the training to adapt and overcome.

So a cloak just like in Star Trek? SWEET!
