Interesting thought.
Warfare is changing. No longer is it 18 year old kids in trenches with bolt action rifles.
Now it is asymmetric. Now everyone needs to be a strategist and an actor.
Yes, physical fitness is good; but mental stability / knowledge / fortitude / etc. will play a key roll.
I'm much older now, but there are many things I can do now that I couldn't do when I was 18. Most agree that intellectually men peak in their 40's.
Maybe the ideal is the body of a 18 year old and the mind of a 50 year old? One can dream, right?
