Their idea is to get soldiers back into service for *today's* wars, not
a war many decades from now.  Besides, even if cryo were on the radar
screen, why not try to keep the soldier alive and save cryo for the
absolute last ditch effort?  (Short of measures that destroy the body
beyond possibility of effective cryo - but such measures tend to kill
the user anyway.  There don't tend to be many if any "good chance of
cryo or poor chance of staying alive" tradeoffs in the situations they
face.)
