The point of war these days isn't to kill the enemy, but to convince them to surrender and join your side. Faster combat reactions might kill enemy soldiers faster, but if that were the goal you would just drop bombs on them. You get people to surrender by being reasonable and helpful until they shoot at you, and then fighting back fairly following the rules of war. You have to make being a soldier in your army seem like a better life than being a soldier in their army. Telepresence and combat AI have some value, but will not achieve the main goals.
