Our species has arisen and survived because we naturally breed generalists - we are all sufficient for most things, but perhaps not really outstanding for more than one particular application at some point in life.

What you’re telling me is that, for the sake of future warfare, we ought to engineering different classes of humans.

A few will be super strong.
A few will have very high eye-hand response rates and amazing coordination.
A few will be super-numerate and solve complex puzzles quickly.

Then the masses will be bred to be laborers as needed.

This is all sounding very ant-colony-like.
