Sad truth right there
It's not sad at all.
You can't outrun bullets and if your muscles are glorious and rippling it won't stop them.
Avoiding bullets and fighting in today's war is about intellect and strategy more than it is brawn and agility. Those are still important but less emphasized than being able to construct a battlefield and quantify your chances of survival.
Communication is also by far the most important aspect of any given battlefield; not only your ability to understand instructions but to give them.
As I said, there's nothing sad about it and in the words of Erwin Rommel.
Sweat saves blood.
Blood saves lives.
Brains save both.

I skimmed over your earlier post, and thought you were speaking of a "training tactic" not tactical training, as a nod towards the pussification of the military. I have operated on the ground as a younger man, and later Electronic Warfare to Intel analyst. I couldn't agree with you more on how we've used technology to shrink the battlefield and how fast it can be employed. The capability has to be just as versatile, and that's what makes it impressive.
