My favorite parts of the article.
"US researchers have developed strap-on robotic legs to allow people to carry heavy loads over long distances.... The Bleex exoskeleton has a small, purpose-built combustion engine built into it. On a full tank the system should be able to run for up to two hours."

Sweet, we found a way to make our legs work on an internal-combustion engine. How damn American.

Now if they could invent bionic arms, allowing a soldier to lift/press 20 tons, and outfit it with various weapons and gadgets...THEN I would sign up!
