Does military service attract short people in your country?
>>
>military service
I thought military service was obligatory to ALL men regardless of height? That's the point of military service, it is not something voluntary
>>
>>217663006
You're thinking of conscription.
>>
>>217663006
The American military is all volunteer. It's just something I've noticed since I've been in the Army. There's a disproportionate number of guys that are in the 5"4 - 5"6 range.
>>
>>217662936
Oh yeah. High concentration of browns too. The military is for people who were too dumb to do anything else
>>
>>217663048
Latino/Asian Immigrants join the USA military to get green cards? Idk

The average USA soldier in Vietnam was 5'9, are you telling me the average is lower now?
>>
>>217663048
190-200cm tall people are useless soldiers
>>
>>217663189
Marcus Luttrell the guy who wrote lone survivor is 6'5
>>
>>217663126
There are a lot of 5"5, 140 lb white guys, even in the infantry. The average height of an Army Ranger is 5"9, but I'm not sure about the Army as a whole.

We do have some guys that are 6ft+, but it's less common. Most of my basic training Drill Sergeants were taller than the trainees.

Average height of Brazilian army is 1,77 or 5'10"
Many short soldiers for sure
>>
>>217662936
shorties have smaller hitboxes
>>
>>217663973
Stop coping, you are a subhuman to all women, regardless the race, women love tall men worldwide and don't respect short men.
>>
>>217664015
Are you in the wrong thread?
>>
>>217662936
In boxing that would matter, sure. Different weight divisions etc. But if you are fighting a war it just depends on how you can use your gun.
>>
>>217662936
Why do they have lighter coloured pants? Have it the same colour as the dress. Just have a different coloured belt.
>>
>>217662936
No, conscription is mandatory and they have dozens of millions of people to pick from so they just screen out short guys

There is no service, there is only conscription

I would've done the military service in my country if it was like the American military boot camp. Ours is so embarrassing omg
>>
>>217662936
Our military service has height requirements.

being a 6'2" chad in the military kinda sucks honestly. Running and ruck marches are easier for me but I wanted to shoot machine guns and they only give those out to the manlets :(
>>
Being above 6'0 has been obsolete ever since the ar-15 entered service, it was designed for tiny little SEA people that found the M1A too big and heavy for them
>>
>>217664298
to be fair being smaller is actually useful in modern military since you have more endurance
>>
>>217667859
>I wanted to shoot machine guns and they only give those out to the manlets :(
what?

>>217667859
explain

>>217668397
>>217669223
There's an unofficial rule in the Army that the shortest guys get assigned the M249 and M240
>>
>>217663029
"Service militaire" means all men have to serve 1, 2 or 3 years in the army when they reach adulthood.
"Conscription" (French word too) means all men in age of fighting serve in the army until war is over.
Lean the meaning of the words you use, mutt.
>>
no (on account of it being compulsory for everyone), but short men and those who were bullied in school are notorious for having an extra hard-on for it, it's like a chance for them to turn the tables for once in their lives.
All the biggest assholes among the NCOs are always manlets
