How would this help in the middle east against IED’s?

We already have invisibility suits for our soldiers.

Also...

Just how durable would such a thin skin be? Whoever thinks an ultra think coating on anything is going to last any longer than a soldier or Marine infantryman sets foot into either a training event or a battle AO hasn’t ever been an infantryman.

I especially liked the notion of activating the stealth field by spraying yourself with vinegar. No way that could be detected by anybody you’re trying to sneak up on!
