come to life. The USMC robotic mule on the BBC website (sorry cant work the link thing). Wow.

anyone else like the taliban would just use a **** donkey and not need to be 5 feet away from it

The taliban will be fine unless these things are some kind of giant robot camels.

The only use I can see for it is if animal rights types stop the US army from using actual donkeys in war.

I think there are plenty of reasons why we no longer use animals for lugging stuff round a battle field.

This can go places a normal vehicle cannot so there is going to be a use for it. The none military spin-offs should be fun.
