Your Tax Dollars at Work

Speaking last month in Tampa, Florida at the Special Operations Forces Industry Conference (SOFIC) — an annual gathering of elite military decision-makers and their partners in the private sector — the new commander of Special Operations Command (SOCOM), Army Gen. Joseph Votel, said the Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit, otherwise known as TALOS, is “on track.”

But behind the scenes, critics continue to question whether the military’s “Iron Man” suit would ever be used in battle.

[...]

According to informational materials distributed at SOFIC, the military envisions TALOS as having half a dozen distinction functions that will integrate “state-of-the-art technologies into a single, purpose-built combat suit system.”

Will we be getting rid of drones?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
