No end of problems? You're kidding me. I can't think of a better way to train people than to shut them off from all their senses and dress them in really clumsy, top-heavy gear. And then have people start shooting at them.
Nothing could go wrong there.
it trains them for the real world where there cut off from all useful intel and suffering under a top heavy command structure.
I am afraid to ask what happens if they leave their circle.
did ya ever play Portal?
