Second post in around an hour, but this is far too awesome to not shout about.

----------------
The whole suit -- which draws design inspiration from Star Wars, RoboCop, Batman and video games -- is made from high-impact plastic lined with ceramic bullet protection over ballistic foam.
Its many features include compartments for emergency morphine and salt, a knife and emergency light. Built into the forearms are a small recording device, a pepper-spray gun and a detachable transponder that can be swallowed in case of trouble.
In the helmet, there's a solar-powered fresh-air system and a drinking tube attached to a canteen in the small of the back. A laser pointer mounted in the middle of the forehead is ready to point to snipers, while LED lights frame the face.
The whole suit comes in at 18 kilograms. It covers everything but the fingertips and the major joints, and could be mass-produced for about $2,000, Hurtubise says.

Excellent. Although the laser pointer to "Point out snipers" might be more of a curse than a blessing.

$2000 is alot for a fucking suit.
The starwars shit isn't half that price.
=================================================================
uh.... dude.... the armor i wore in Baghdad was $1,400 and it was just a vest. $2,000 is cheap as fuck. i'd buy that suit without blinking an eye if i needed that kind of protection.

All it needs now is a bulletproof MP3 player constantly playing t Gary Jules' "Mad World" cover plays through the internal speakers like the Gears of War advert.
Then war would be worth fighting.

Is it merely coincidence that the guy named all the protection "Trojan?"

i don't need donations. i'll just charge it as a business expense. don't laugh just yet. if you think that sounds ridiculous, our senior scientist was going to send over off-road Segways last time i was in Baghdad. don't you wish you worked for my incredibly ridiculous and wasteful company?
the armor i got at Ft. Bliss last time i went was pretty nice, but not near as cool as the suit. i'm not going anywhere near any mosques this time. i almost got myself smoked a few times last time i was there because i was stupid enough to believe i wasn't going to get smoked. once you leave that gate, it gets pretty dangerous in certain areas. especially if you are driving an up-armored Land Cruiser with tinted windows in the wrong neighborhood.
i'll just stick to traveling by helo this time.

i'm probably going back to Baghdad in a couple months. i'm just retarded enough to spend the money on this just so i can look like a super badass soldier of the future contracted to wipe out Islam and ensure the freedom of Americans is preserved forever. i'm not going for that purpose, but it would still be cool to wear the suit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Donations? I'll offer some bucks with the only clause being a photograph must be posted of you in your gear outside of a mosque scaring children away.

Didn't you read the article, Snark?
This thing comes with a solar powered cooch in the crotch!
If it doesn't, you could suggest he swaps that clock for a fleshlight.
