  Permit me to doubt the practicallity of it. I know how hard it is to keep a
helmet and a pair of ear protectors on straight while using a weapons at night:)

  Other than that, I think the greatest problem is the batteries. The computer
part will be easy enough to power, but the display and especially the radio
will eat batteries like popcorn.

  Other problems might be that the light leaking out of the HUD alerts enemies,
and the incredible amount of chatter over the radio that probably will result
from every soldier having a radio of their own.
