Height LIMIT for Soilders

I would place the height limit at 6'2. Tall soilders are bigger, which means they are a bigger targets. They require more food to survive, eating twice than that of an average soilders. They run slower and get injured more. The perfect height is 5'10 and the perfect weight is 170 pounds. WHAT are YOUR thoughts?

Im a 6'4" 220 combat vet and I did just fine...my worry was some 5'7" manlet not being able to drag me off the battlefield if I got shot.

You sound like you're trying to cope

No, give them power armor and a bolt thrower

Are you talking about combat roles only? 90% of people in the military don’t run around with a gun. Mostly doing normal jobs in a uniform

You chinks just want want tall guys to die so you can finally get a white woman. How about we send you manlets to war

I love how everybody on pol is a 6’4 220 pound man

I'm 5'8" 265lbs. You're a lightweight pussy.

220 pounds is too Big top BE a Navy Seal. You are too fat to pass Buds. 6'4 for infantrymen who are placed at the front line is ok for me.

chose one. either your army has shit training and no resources or you specifically are a shitposter

Average height of white women in the US is 5'5.

My boy Marshall Plumlee

lmao you fat nigger

There are no whites in the US, only mutts.

Damn nigga you're a bowling ball

you're just proving OP's point. Why would the army want to risk personnel to drag away some heavy tall faggot that demanded a spot in the forces?

learn body kinematics. Just because a limb is longer doesn't mean it's going to be stronger. There's a reason tall people have MUCH higher chance of dislocations.

The bigger u are, the harder it is. Why do u THINK most marathon runners are 5'7 and 130 pounds?

Until we develop intimidating armor that will maximize their effectiveness, sure.

The moment we develop power armor capable of pulverizing doorway then it's getting maxed out as a specialist troop.

Just think about the morale destructivity a 7"2 400+Lb juggernaut must have as he single handedly breaches and clears dens of terrorists/opposition troops. Watching as he literally rips your allies apart before crushing their still twitching limbs under the boots of his 600lb power armor.

I'm 6'3.5 and last time I weighed myself I was 228.

Running away from battle, and running into battle, are 2 completely different things.

nah bro you walking bean bag

in awe at the size of this lad

True, imagine how hard is for the average american soilders, 5'9, to carry a 6'4+ 220+ pound soilder for miles. They are just too fat.

I have read tall guy failed more at intense test in the army due to the need of more rest than others, is that true?
>t. Very tall guy

the longer you are, the longer and stronger are your muscles. why do you think most powerlifters are long? also, nba players are giants and they run inconsistently. height has had an advantage in was since day one

I'm 5' 8" and 150lbs.

>not being able to drag me off the battlefield if I got shot.
i'd leave you buddy

>The perfect height is 5'10
cope harder manlet

Taller men are more brave confident and more likely to take necessary risk, small men are more likely atheist and are always going to put their lives ahead of anyone else and the company

peak male performance

>Im a 6'4" 220 combat vet

with over 300 confirmed kills?

I'm a 6'0" 235 lb man, I'm fat.

ALSO!!! WHAT physical advantage does a tall guy have over a short guy if we use guns and lowly clubs.? Hit a tall guy with a hammer at the back of his head and he will fall like a roach.

Im 6ft 9 and 330 pounds, dick is 20 inches

>the longer you are, the longer and stronger are your muscles.
Ok, now talk about joints. at least google it retard

>why do you think most powerlifters are long?
because powerlifting is a very controlled sport where the larger muscles of tall people can be subjected to high stress and reach their potential. The dynamic nature of combat is completely different

> nba players are giants and they run inconsistently.
True, but they are black. You are not.

All soilders are confident. A short soilder does not give a SHIT about his height.

OP? May I suggest putting a size limit on what you shove up your ass, you colossal faggot. Holy fuck we get some real retards in here but if you’re worried about targets paint a bullseye on your asshole and see if you can hit it with something chambered in .308.

6"5 235 here

Youre a burger in spirit and in shape.

God damn.

Taller people’s head would poke out more from behind small barriers and foxholes. Argument dismissed. Arm a battalion of midgets with automatic weapons.

A 6'7'' Chad can carry his wounded companions off of a battlefield, wherein a 5'4'' manlet would crumble and die.

Long legs are good for long walks.

The short legs make better soldiers because they're better at altitude, on mountain terrain.

Tall big dudes are good behind enemy lines... POGs. Easier to repair certain machines. Maybe have the inspect jets, make sure bombs are attached correctly on fighters, etc.

Objectively false, but all of your other points are valid.
I agree that all men sent to die should be manlets.

I heard the same from a ranger who's brother was a gb that the more stringent physical test knock out guys at the extremes of the spectrum. Ranger was super lank while his brother a chad.

Imagine the average soilder, 5'9, trying to carry YOUR 6'7 brother. Don't u see how it is Bad for the team?

Dude, adrenaline, I'd be so motivated to drag you off to a secure location in order to provide first aid to your butt. ;)

They're good for fixing shit. They don't need a ladder or a stool to reach certain parts on equipment.

You want to give manlets power armor? Are you daft?

The best operators in the world are manlets, 5’10 is still too tall.

All manlets

all manlets aside, why do you care?

NOT behind enemy lines. I mean at the base. Support staff.

Longer legs. Cover more ground faster

Lol, grasping straws I see

I'm roughly 6.2 and 218 lbs, former Navy. Best mile and a half: 7.42 with boots. Breath holding: 3.14. Few injuries despite deployment tempo. Yet there were also smaller, yet highly motivated men. It takes all types.

6'2" is a great height limit.
Dont let anyone in that is shorter than that.

For war, smaller might be better in most cases.
Look at virus and diseases.
Hard to defeat an enemy you don't even notice.

why would i bother to carry you?
theres only ahead

Tall guys usually end up as lmgs and munition tenders, or would you prefer a manlet to hump a lmg. Little guys are good for being tunnel rats and tankers. Not much else.

OP might be onto something. Very short people take up less space in a tank. Also, they might have an advantage in hand to hand combat.
What could be more glorious than 120 midgets with fixed bayonets screaming across no man's land, sticking every enemy they meet in the gut with an upward bayonet thrust?

Ahem!

Feels good man.

>Breath holding: 3.14
that is low end.

Tall people are literally worse than women, treating their fellow bros like trash

Stocky 5'9 can carry a 7'00 man easier than a thin, tall 7'00 can carry a 5'9 man. If the 7'00 man is built like SHREK... then he can probably carry 2 guys.

Donkey legs. Low center of gravity.

DAMN bro you fat as a MUFFucka

>Very short people take up less space in a tank.
I started my military career out as a tank gunner. My tank commander was 1,95. Constantly having his knees pressed into my back was no fun.

You’re a twink. Fitting for the joke of a branch you chose.

If they actually enforced standards from say 30 years ago it would filter out to be close to these numbers. The taller, wider, shorter etc would be the top percentile at their size. Due to carrying a weaponry and a couple days food and water the numbers would probably creep up more, say 6' 190.
(Reference 10 years on Hotshot fire crew, most guys were 5'10" 170, we only had to carry 1 days supply plus chainsaw or hand tool. Guys that were much bigger had to carry too much water for all that muscle, bean poles did well though. Most manlettes didn't have long enough legs to keep up)

Nice non-response you filthy nigger

Most tall dudes in the military were typically cool.
Maybe I was just violent and they were scared.

Although I have noticed tall civilians try to be complete douchebags, they are so quick to call for help though when you confront them.

I'm a tall fat bastard, so what

good ole fightan memory

By today's standards your right. However, back in the day it was pretty good, actually good enough to provide a 'shallow water blackout' during training.

This is the only story I can believe so far, lines up with my experience. I love how everyone is seething hahahahaha

10 years wildland fire here, most guys were 5'10" 170. Too big lead to those guys carrying too much water and overall weight to body ratio. Manlettes didn't have the legs to keep up, always outliers though. Military carries more weight to average size probably is ideally 20% bigger, say 6' 190

>Although I have noticed tall civilians try to be complete douchebags, they are so quick to call for help though when you confront them.

no wonder tallfags travel in packs

Shorter people weigh less than taller people (assuming proportions the same). So it would cost less to both transport and feed smaller soldiers. While they may not run as fast, you could use the extra savings to equip the midget battalion with vehicles allowing them to cover more ground than a running tall man.

5ft 11 to 6ft 2 is the perfect combat height

The not paying property taxes part was a pretty nice surprise once I found out about it.
>Tax free 40k paycheck for loif
>No property taxes
>Can still work if I want to
And the kicker:
>You basically have to murder someone to get pulled over with purple heart plates on your truck

Most of them are slower though. Unless it comes to rucking. In that case, holy fuck I envy them.
