For the record, the character creation section was imposed upon the
author, 
against his express wishes.  His objections were basically the same as 
yours....  If you check out his web page, the Blue Room 
(http://www.io.com/~sjohn/blueroom.htm) and look under GURPS, you will
find 
a new advantage called "Up to the Challenge" which makes things much
easier.

To drag this back on-topic, you would find this to be a very useful 
advantage if you were running a special forces kind of campaign.  It
would 
reduce the paperwork tremendously.  And if you want a *lot* of fun,
check 
out "Gunmetal Blue" on the same site to find the "Truly Badass"
advantage, 
as well as the "Options for High-Tech GURPS" page.

S. John Ross is a heck of a guy, that's all I can add.
