Average height in the US army is 175cm
Lol

 

[BigBiceps]

Doesn't matter. Short guys can be good soldiers, harder to hit and all.

Is there a height restriction? I doubt 173 cm is that detrimental

all their measurements are tiny, whats up with that. And that is the average, so there are like half the people below theose measeurements, I don't think those childlike men are good in the army

I doubt you will rank up much as a 173cm guy tbh

Apex fallacy, we tend to notice only the top 10-15 percent so you your brain might ignore all the leprechauns and Oompa Loompas roaming around.

I'm proud of you @Morgothos for considering this. Every man should fight in a war at one point in their life. Gintoki is so cool because he went through war. Do you want to be like Gintoki?

 

[Pietrosiek]

Yes, it doesnt matter, all does matter is your rank, 165cm sarge can spit on 2m privats face
