Saw this on CNN.com and thought it was interesting.

I can understand how this might be applicable to support troops and thereby allow for an increase in tooth-to-tail, but I'm not sure how applicable this would be to actual combat (other than maybe using one per squad as a mule or man-portable heavy weapons platform), which seems to me to be much more about dexterity than raw strength.

I'd be interested to hear what the experts think.
