Skunk Works was the greatest shadow R and D the world has seen to this point (or knows about at least)
Also, the Blackbird was an amazing machine, wish its successor, the Aurora Project, was more opaque than just whispers in the internet.
Something witty here.
How about?

Actually check CNN, it's been in the news that Lockheed Martin is currently working on the SR-72.

Hey we already have lasers and rail gun tech, the US can go either the route of the Amarr (PLEASE GOD) or the Caldari.
Actually, that was the premise behind the original Crysis as well. You were playing as a member of a team of Delta Force operators using advanced powered-armor.

THIS starting at 1:18.
A regular infantryman is not worth the price tag. The most you'd ever see any sort of dropsuit used is on special forces. The regular infantryman truly is cannon fodder. Regular ground forces are about quantity, not quality. It's about throwing a mass of bodies at the problem with the hope to overwhelm.
Cheap labor as it were. And that goes double for the Marines.
