U.S. Military is on its way to getting its Iron Man

An American commando has died. Two years later , the U.S. military is getting even closer than ever before to putting Iron Man on the front lines but their trying to at least get something that closely resembles the Iron Man tech. Sadly in my opinion they won't be able to get the suit to fly unlike the suit in hollywood can. The military's suit will be made of liquid armor that can solidify on command. With their protective gear this suit will be very hard to destroy , which is good because it will be able to protect the American troops. An amalgam of academics, defense industry types and Pentagon personnel are trying to fine-tune the battery-powered exoskeleton, which would reduce strain on the body, provide superior ballistic protection and in-helmet technologies to boost communications and visibility. “This is a program that we started after we lost an operator on a mission. The first guy coming into a particular building was engaged and unfortunately was mortally wounded. And in the wake of that, we asked ourselves, Couldn’t we do better in terms of protecting him, of giving him a better advantage when he’s at the most vulnerable point that we put our operators?” said Gen.
