US Army to Try Out New, Anime-based Uniforms

Posted by michael on from the engage-cloaking-device dept.

PenguinRadio writes "This is being reported in a few places, most notably USA Today which has an article about the US Army teaming up with MIT to develop a new nanotechnology-based outfit for our soldiers that can detect bio hazards, injury, and other funky things. The 5 year, $50 million grant also wants to look at bending light around the uniform to create some sort of invisibility." CNET has another story. The Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies has its own web page, of course.

    Thats because us Joe's have learned to not kill ourselves, but rather to kill all of those critical, asshole people who comment on everything in the world but don't actually do anything about it.

    Airborne Infantryman, kiss my ass.
