Checking up on the status of the Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit (TALOS), I found this article from earlier this year
https://taskandpurpose.com/talos-iron-man-suit-dead
and I'm struck by how integrated science fiction has become in talking about the design--I mean, Iron Man is mainstream media now, but Starship Troopers is old school. Anyway, the military exoskeleton is one of my favorite military/disability/science ficion intersections, but I'm kind of amused that the military can't get its devices to work with each other, either.
