...But without your personal involvement and unremitting commitment to excellence recently, I am afraid our premium wines now admittedly lack that "je ne sais quoi."

What HE said!!

Wow... looks really good. Appears to be well thought-out.

I was impressed by the shot of the guy running with this thing and a full pack. I wonder what that feels like, compared to without it? Imagine troops able to run or jog with a full load, but only the energy output of a fast walk, or an unloaded jog?

Wow. Combine this with the advances in the robotic “mule” systems... and the whole capability of infantry goes up an order of magnitude.

Not nearly as logical as you think.:

If one gets wine from a winery, and cheese from a cheesery, then what does a crackery produce? ;)

Or a nunnery, or an artillery?

i agree. i was also impressed by the karate kick and the sequence when the guy climbs up the "wall" with a full pack.

i used to laugh at the "army of one" slogan, but with this, "mules," advanced electronics, satellites, ucav's, and improved weaponry -who knows.

i think that it was in the paper, "unrestricted warfare" that two chi-com colonels wrote that in the future, a three man team could possibly take control of a small to medium sized city.

If it’s the real deal, the Marines will buy them in a few years.

Or the Israelis. Or both.

The kiln in the Psychoceramics room is out, so there will be no crackpottery for the time being.
