if anyone caught the last episode Episode 12: Future Combat, all the new technology that they employed was previewd in one way or another by viideo games such as ghost recon:advanced warfighter or battlefield2. i personaly think that the Future Combat Systems now in the works will no doubt make military combat easier for troops, but will also make the us armed forces more dependant on electronics and technology eventually weakening it overall if their should ever be a EMP attack on the US. i'm sure there are systems in the works that could be employed to help prevent such an attack, but until such a fully functional system is in operation. it's my belief that if the US suffers such an attack tomorrow, the armed forces will be nothing more than a crippled mass. (sorry if i sound to preachy, it's not my intention to).
