I do agree that some of the stuff wasen't very realistic for the timeframe that it was set in. Like the stealth camouflage. I don't think we are anywhere near the technologial level the be able to bend light rays around an object. That applies to the claymore mines as well. However I think that stuff like the chaff grenades and Metal gear itself can be built in a couple of years.

I think that exoskeleton idea is a great one. Not only will it enhance human preformance but it could also be built into a space suit for the first men and women that set foot on mars and venus. Imagine a spacesuit that is very resistant to extreme hot and cold, that has the ability to lift boulders and throw them 50meters. The only thing that I think would pose a problem would be the power source. It would have to be huge to power a powerful mechanism like that. Who knows, maybe some government could of already developed something like that in secret? It could just be classified.
