Fun ideas like exo skelletons and iron man suits always suffer from us not having as convenient energy sources like iron mans ark reactor.
A lot of military inventions usually find their way into civil day to day life in some way or form, so there may be something good for us from this in the future.
It is sad that this is the case, though. Makes me think back to this "confilict makes us thrive" quote I heard somewhere.
