For you comic book geeks Iron Man seems to be just over the horizon. People I have known in the military community have been telling me about work in powered armor for decades. By the mid 21st Century force projection from urban ‘areas of intervention’ to SWAT type domestic security will very likely be spearheaded by special operations soldiers in powered armor. It is going to happen, and Homeland Security is going to have a slice of the action. So you white separatist and ghetto gangbangers who think you are going to take down a piece of Uncle Sam’s plantation, might want to factor TALOS strikes into your battle plan.

When viewing the news cast imbedded below take note of how the male talking head has been extensively coached by military PR people to use the term ‘warrior’ when referring to military operatives, and how the female head has been assigned to assure Mommy America that the ‘Iron Man’ suit will not be weaponized, conveniently overlooking the fact that the guy in it is going to be carrying 60 pounds of ordinance and will have an uplink to a drone pilot to deal with any hard targets.

Remember, TALOS is our friend!
