Our soldiers would probably settle for just having bullets in their weapons.

I guess the low tech version, which we could actually afford, would be to feed the GIs a steady diet of pinto beans...

See the Tom Cruise movie “Edge of Tomorrow”. There is a pretty good depiction of near future soldier technology.
