  Just a thought... No matter how powerfull the infantry man's powered
armor is, he
can't
walk any faster than an unarmored man. (This assumes no fancy flight
packs or grav
belts, ect).  Having a ride on a vehical would extend the powered armor
suit's
operational time, and wouldn't use up those flight packs...
