So /tg/ We've discussed the pros and cons of mecha in military usage but what about jet packs and the like? For the sake of discussion let's include all sorts ranging from rockets to some form of anti-grav units.

Jet packs with modern technology are pretty impractical. They're dangerous, heavy, and short ranged.
It doesn't really make sense to have units take jetpacks which can fly for about 10 minutes. After that they have to be ditched or be a massive burden.
They might have some use to insert special forces type guys, as well as other niche roles, but for general use there's no real point.
