In the year 2066, Soldiers everywhere have adapted to the form of Exo Suits, they change the ways in combat and warfare. A U.S. Staff Sergeant Marine on mission is transported to Equestria and now enhanced technology will meet Magic.
Is he a Marine or a solider? Those words don't mean the same things.
UAV Drone Redundant
Not really sure what the deal was with sacrificing himself. One guy in the squad got hit and apparently nobody else could shoot back? The situation just didn't seem serious enough.
Wait, if this takes place before Nightmare Moon's return, why did the Elements of Harmony come up? Do Celestia and the nobles know ahead of time who will eventually get them?
8476790 1: He stayed behind so he could make sure the Warbird could take off in the first place, He knew if they all left then one of the Insurrectionists would hit their extraction.
2: I noticed that before reading this, I already edited it...I am a fucking idiot xD
Edit: Btw, good job with the spoiler tags and Soldier can really relate to all...a Soldier is a person who fights for their country simply, There are different kinds of Soldiers, but no matter what, A Soldier is a Soldier.
Hmm, what will technology look like in 50 (or in this case 49) years time. I have a couple ideas though these are obviously my opinion and feel free to disagree.
Likely: exo skeletons, HUDs, foam to fill in wounds (I'm pretty sure this exists right now, though maybe only in testing), smaller but faster bullets (old 18th century muskets could have calibres of over 0.7 inches, a .50 cal is half an inch for comparison, WW1 and WW2 used .30 cal (7.92 mm) and modern weapons such as the m4 carbine use 5.56 mm ammo. The smaller bullets are used because if they are faster (which in modern guns they are) they can have more penetration, better accuracy, and smaller bullets are cheaper, lighter, and you can carry a lot more of them.)
Maybe: All/most aircraft are drones (fighters, bombers, helicopters, etc) Automatic/assisted aiming Computer showing location of friendly troops Real time access to satellite footage to get a real time birds eye view of the battlefield. Cybernetic augmentations. Drone tanks Graphene body armour (gram for gram it's over 100 times stronger than steel) or some other type of super material for body armour.
Unlikely (due to maybe being physically very difficult/ impossible): Cloaking device Shield system All robotic troops Built in AI to soldiers equipment or even themselves (kind of like project freelancer from red vs blue)
Againn these are just my opinion and thought it may be fun to list, probably not too useful for your story since he's not going back to earth but no harm in writing it down right.
8478874 Nice job, but yes, Ethan will not return to earth, but I might pull some things in...also, Hope you did notice the shield in this is like a Riot Shield so not an actual shield system from like Halo or something...I really like what you typed, thanks for some possible ideas!
8481523 English is my first language, but I am known to make a couple mistakes here and there, thank you for pointing them out, I use Grammarly to type my stories as well but I don't use the premium membership.
UPDATE: I realized I wrote the first chapter before I got Grammarly, so I looked over it again and fixed many errors, again thank you for telling me. If there are any problems in the 2nd chapter and in future chapters, feel free to let me know.
A congratulations, to your corporation, Party all day and into the night... Now you're at number 1, hope you did nothing wrong, Like starting your business by selling pirated songs.
