A genetically modified warrior race?

Will they have their own girls?

No progress expected in this field with enemy islamists in office.

Really? The Pentagon terrified? I thought they were more terrified of Trump?

We just need to use more of the new TrakingPoint sights Even enhanced humans will die from a headshot.

Remember the Russian rocket boots?  22 m.p.h.

The boots were declassified in 1994, and Mr. Gordeyev and his partners
 imagined growing rich by selling their invention to a lazy public. Instead,
the company went out of business in 2006.

I defer to the experts here, but two things cross my mind: first, the US is never behind anyone in research, esp weaponry and second, there’s nothing wrong anywhere that a couple of strategically placed nukes won’t fix.

Bullcrap.

Propaganda to make Americans think they have a moral government that “cares” about us citizens.

They’ve just underwritten Planned Parenthood’s vivisection of innocent new borns for their body parts, DARPA is doing God knows what, “Climate Change” (that we’re ALL going to be taxed for) is REAL, because the government (HARPP) is actually screwing with the weather while blaming our mileage and chimneys...don’t fall for this crap-the Pentagon is trying to make it seem like they have to catch up to China and Russia when they’ve probably shot past them with “creations” that will probably be used against American citizens on our own soil. (They just “need more money”= taxpayers’ dollars to accomplish this).

Bullcrap.

As in the days of Noah...

Another problem would be what to do with retired troops.This sort of biomedical engineering is going to have side effects.

If these improved wariors turn conservative, no worry. If they are created and remain as liberals, they won’t be a problem to kill.

Star Trek TOS - Khan - he and a group of “supermen / women” that were genetically modified. Rose to power in the Eugenics Wars on Earth, then escaped when the war was lost on the ship Botany Bay.

The US could catch up- we've been thinking about it for years:

[JOAT]

"Terrified"...."may force America's hand."

Translation: We've been doing this in secret labs for generations, and we are about to roll it out.
