UM-Bot Posted May 9, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 9, 2015 The army is attempting to secure cutting edge materials capable of rendering its soldiers invisible. Harry Potter certainly found his invisibility cloak helpful during his adventures in Hogwarts, but in the real world covering oneself in a magic piece of cloth isn't really a viable option.

pallidin Posted May 9, 2015 #7 Share Posted May 9, 2015 They would need to be careful with this. A soldiers perfect excuse for "fragging" a unit commander. But, but General... I could not see my Lt., only the enemy. or..... General to Lt: What the hell is going-on? You guys are showing-up on our special equipment as dis-coordinated rodents. Lt to General: Sorry, our buddy-safety vision has failed. We can't see each other so we keep running into each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquatus1 Posted May 9, 2015 #10 Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) They would need to be careful with this. A soldiers perfect excuse for "fragging" a unit commander. But, but General... I could not see my Lt., only the enemy. In the book, Starship Troopers, there is a part during basic training where the protagonist, tired of having to go through all the procedures prior to simply firing off a rocket salvo, simply raises his visor, fires off a round on the jump, and slaps it back down before he lands. The moment he lands, he feels his suit's power cut off and one of his trainers tackles him and holds him down. The next scene, he is in the recruit version of a court-martial, where they are deciding whether or not he is salvageable as a soldier, or whether he needs to be fully court-martialed. He ends up being lashed in front of his company and returned to duty. Not to pull out an old cliche (but it is a cliche for a reason): "With great power, comes great responsibility."

pallidin Posted May 10, 2015 #17 Share Posted May 10, 2015 How would the General know that the troops where dis-coordinated ? That's where the "special equipment" comes in I made reference to in that statement. No idea what that might be, though. Some kind-of classified, encoded transponder I guess, if even that would be wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zalmoxis Posted May 11, 2015 #20 Share Posted May 11, 2015 You'd think that the US Army would already have a record of all materials in existence that they could use, if not them then definitely the companies they contract to manufacture weapons and materials would definitely have a record of all materials in existence on this planet. The call for suggestions sounds absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
