The Army's real life 'Iron Man' suits
Joe Votel -- commander of the U.S. Special Operations command -- talks about suits being developed by the Army that might make some real-life Tony Starks.

One of the biggest arguments for integrating women into combat roles is they are not able to physically do the same task as their male counterparts. With the development of battle suits that will assist the soldier with strength do you think that it will level the battlefield for both males and females?

To me, physical strength is probably the single biggest issue. I'm not saying there aren't physically strong women out there and I'm sure SOMEONE will be along shortly to post a picture of a female MMA fighter, but the averages are what they are. In my opinion, yes, If the TALOS suit goes into full production and widespread use, I think it would go a long ways to level the playing field, at least in tasks where they are practical. I'm not really convinced that the TALOS would be practical in a large majority of spec ops, though.

[tps_header]Ah, battleships: is there anything more majestic than a set of sixteen-inch guns rising up in the air, ready to ejaculate a set of armor-piercing shells deep into whatever target happens to be nearby?
