As a factory driver who occasionally drives a fork lift truck - DO WANT!
And to those commenting that this is no good for military use, imagine this, you have a target 10 miles inside enemy territory the target is heavily fortified and anti-air systems neccesitate a ground based assault.
So do you use tanks infantry artillery etc?
or
do you send in a spec ops team with these suits mounting metal storm back mounted mortar, a machinegun on the left arm with UB shotgun/grenade launcher (as soldiers preference), a manipulator claw mounted on the right arm (to steady the left arms fire, plant explosives, tear people limb from limb, etc) and perhaps even a small anti-armour missile launcher on the shoulder. Chuck in a tactical sensor package that can be monitored by an intelligence officer to vector fire support and youve replaced a regimental combat team with a supported squad. Saving vast amounts of effort in terms of man-power and logistics.
And to the thing about Gates trying to cripple the military, war time starts in peace time, go play wing-commander prophecy and learn.

The Japanese are making a civilian model (for farming and industrial purposes) that is supposed to run at 30-50 thousand dollars.
thats not as much as you'd think.
Thats what? a years wage for a single worker?
if useing one of these suits increases someones productivity by a factor of 2, over a years time you just made your money back twice.
see what i mean?
Given the efficiency savings inherent in mass production they'll be a lot cheaper than 30 to 50 thousand once they have been about for a while.
Exoskeletons, brain implants, atomic computing, gene manipulation and the vast array of other technologies currently in their infancy are affecting the man machine interface and are all going to come together to create a new form of evolution.
This exoskeleton is just one nail in the coffin of natural selection through random gene mutation and i for one welcome our new cyborg overlords.

Neither. You use a missile. Preferably one with tandem warheads which can punch through thick concrete. Sorry, but playing computer games does not give you an accurate representation of how military stuff works.

I'll take 50 thousand of those in red and give them an advanced learning AI. And I'll command my army of mechanical insect with this!
