      The vast majority of soldiers don’t fight.

      Well that was more like uploading your consciousness into a newer better body … but I can see how that’s close enough.

        Well, the clone was based on their genetic material. Enhanced musculature, green skin, and yellow cat-like eyes with enhanced vision, and nanobot-enhanced artificial blood.

        Not the same, obviously, but a step closer towards something similar.

    Looks like the warfighter would be made of a bunch of different RF connectors.
