^ It should be noted mythological Ares wasn't too bright either. He was basically the Olympian Pantheon's dumb jock.
So much so that Hephaestus pulled a Revenge of the Nerds type moment on him when said forge god caught Ares with his wife Aphrodite.
All things considered DC Ares is a bit too smart for a War God and Marvel Ares being a bit dense is understandable. 😛

DC's is basically implied to have grown up over time as war modernized, or at least that's the impression I get.
Marvel's is more true to the myths.

But Ares understands all modern weapondry & will use it. He can relate to modern soldiers.
It's Hercules & Thor, in their respective pantheons, that have the reputation of being brawny over brainy (look at how Loki has mocked Thor over millenia for his 'few brains'😉, and just using their 'hammers' to smash their way of of trouble.
(With Thor, that's literal; with Hercules, that means seducing the female in charge. 😛 )
