The Soldier of the Future

An anonymous reader writes "Land Warrior, the Army's wearable electronics package, was panned earlier this year by the troops who were testing it out. They were forced to take the collection of digital maps and next-gen radios to war, anyway. Now, Wired's Noah Shachtman reports from Iraq, those same soldiers are starting to warm up to their soldier suits of the future."

    Do you feel there will not be another world war in the next 1000 years?

    You are correct that we have not had a large war for an unusually long period.

    Let's hope for the best and plan for the worst.
