USA Sugar gliders?

This is just too cool. In the old days, the Rangers or SEALs or Green Berrets would come in on a boat or be dropped by parachute. Now, they can glide in from an air drop 120 miles away, be undetectable by radar, and pretty much silent. A 6ft carbonfiber wing strapped on the back, and it can be filled with up to 200lbs equipment, and carry the warrior to the battle.

3 years from now, we'll have a special squadron of these guys called the 'Flying Squirrels'.

5 years from now, they'll add jet engines to these things, and we'll have jet pack troopers hopping all over the place, wreaking havoc upon the enemies.

15 years from now, we'll just be dropping all of our soldiers from the air into the heart of an enemy base, without warning. Now that's a smart bomb.

Hat tip to Daweed for the story.
