It's kinda like I'm telling people, this GI Joe is slightly more cutting edge than their 1982 counterparts. What the military is using and experimenting with, powersuits have been in the work for years. But consider that the US uses unmanned drone planes. 20 years ago, would that have really been considered by people?

And let's move back another 20 years or whatever. Star Trek. The BEST example of technology becoming 'real'. The communicators in Kirk's days were wild back then. Now we have cellphones and bluetooth and whatever. Hyposprays? There are versions of that used. Tricorders? It's a device that reads the environment around you. I've read in science magazines that those type of things are in the works.

I don't know what people EXPECT and HOPE for GI Joe but I figure, let them go outside the box and see what happens. We want a more realistic war movie, we can watch Platoon or Full Metal Jacket.
