As cool as Bigdog is, I wouldn't want that thing anywhere near me unless I was in a secured area. It's just too damn loud....and slow. Better to let soldiers carry their own loads with efficient and quickly discardable pack systems like SALLE.
If, and I stress the word if, they could make a quiet, more responsive, faster robot, I'd consider using it, but if they had such a thing we could just put guns on it and use it for fighting rather than carrying.
