Marc, you said OPTICAL CLOAK, that doesn't include any other part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Unless it cloaks from every kind of electromagnetic wave, it can be found out. Why do you think ISR has lots of different detection devices?

Also, I don't remember you doing research on an EM cloak, a plain optical cloak maybe, but a all-encompassing EM cloak? Putting anything like that on a person is basically, to point it in realistic terms, painful to the wearer. Even with liuqid nitrogen(or even liquid helium, the lowest boiling point of any gas in the periodic table) serging through the cloaking device, it will very likely overheat very quickly do to the amounts of power required to operate. And even with ways to cool it to touchable, it'll be very bulky, much bulkier than your average backpack. And the amount of power needed can't be gotten with a few double A battries, much less a mini- fusion or anti-matter reactor. And even with enough power, the suit will be too bulky to use in combat, and be more suited to recon(and even that's very doubtful, as you'd make a heck of a lot of noise, which in ISR areas there is air, so they can hear you)
