What a tremendous irony! The military develops an exoskeleton to create super soldiers - while home, in rehab programs or home waiting, are slews veteran soldiers who can't walk, or punch a bag, because of some cursed war injury. They could really make use of that super exoskeleton!

The Japanese are far ahead of us on this one.

They even have the power-supply stuff figured out!
