Why this prototype combat rig could help Army soldiers fight a possible war with China

The subcaption of the video was a bit alarming. So is the US planning this as well?

China has been planing to reunite with Taiwan for decades, and they are clearly building a military capable of that. The US has committed to protecting Taiwan. That is the US has been planning war with china since not long after WWII. It hasn't happened yet, it may never happen, but it is planned for and one of the more likely wars the US could get involved with.

If your country doesn't have a plan to go to war with every other country in the world (separately) your military leaders are incompetent. Most counties far away are very low risk and so the plans don't have to be well thought out, but you should have at least the start of a plan. The more likely war is the better you plans should be.

I am getting all the more confident that China will win that war. The US has been performing lousy over the past few seasons of War, and the new US management and owners instill anything but confidence in the team.

Si vis pacem, para bellum.

If you look weak, you're a target. The only way to have peace is to look strong.

The US has been working on stuff like this for decades.

Obviously not true, do you think anything the US does is planned?
