Both Karate and Taekwondo are suitable for warfare, and the question of one being "better" is ALWAYS a matter of opinion. While modern warfare relies heavily upon long range weapons such as firearms, artillery, explosive devices and missiles, a soldier never knows when they might come face to face with an enemy combatant. In addition to fighting, and survival skills, the modern soldier benefits greatly from good physical condition. The martial art training also provides additional positive character traits such as discipline, self control, perseverance, and extraordinary mental focus. In this regard, both karate and taekwondo (and many other Martial Art systems) would serve well. The more important factors would be the quality of instructor available to the solider, and the dedication of the student to train for optimum performance.
