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.

    "Waste of Money". This will never succeed in full, MIT just wants the money to dink around with.

    This is especially a waste considering how little soldiers are actually used anymore.

    I want the ability to tag everyone who posts a reply to an article to be put into my foes list so I can gag their bullshit en masse. Unfortunately slashdot will never do this, so I will have to make an alternative to slashdot. All of you will flock to my creation. Bwa ha. Bwa ha. Bwa ha, ha, ha, ha, haaaaaaa.
