Comments on: The next step: power armor? http://greatwolf.blogpeoria.com/2007/11/30/the-next-step-power-armor/ Just a quiet corner of the Net where I will come to sit and think and write. Maybe you will find that I have something worthwhile to say.

The lack of power armor from the movie "Starship Troopers" was the greatest travesty about that film. The second biggest travesty was missing the entire point of the book, but that pales in comparison beside the lack of power armor. ;-) I mean, if you want to gripe about war, try making a movie out of Haldeman's "The Forever War". Hmm. I'd probably watch that movie, actually.... Billy,

That's silly. Anyone who knows ANYTHING knows that powered armor is out of Robert A. Heinlein's "Starship Troopers." And it's funny too than the movie based on SST apparently thought it was possible for giant alien bugs to shoot plasma out of their butts, but managed to leave OUT the powered armor because it was too futuristic.
