Taller soldiers can move faster but are larger targets and are more likely to get leg injuries.
>>
Taller people are faster and more intelligent

Shorter people can have better aim in some stances and are naturally more inclined to violence. Manlets are particularly important for manning tanks with small interiors. Overall short people are better suited for warfare, especially if talking about front-line infantry.

Proofs?
>>
>>33881904
Extremes matter, pilots and tank operators are regulary rather chosen on the smaller side, while extreme large arent allowed to begin with. Large persons are normally capable of carrying more stuff by pure mass, while smaller can carry more compared to their body mass (reason why ants can carry multiple times of their body weight and, why elephants cant jump).
>>
Taller personnel are the officers making the big decisions or flying the aircraft.

They get the beautiful wives, the executive tier civilian jobs, and the political careers because they are above the little things.

Manlets are the enlisted, they get things done and can be given simple instructions. We shouldn't expect too much of them, they have their purpose.

Don't drag pilots into this. Most fighter pilots are above 6'0"
>>
>>33882062
Yes, but smaller pilots are generally preferred, as long as they can reach the rudder pedals.

Better fit, and better tolerance to g's than lanklets

Yes, it greatly increases your discomfort in military vehicles.

Normal males give the orders and give a given command its vision. They are the leaders.

Manlets are the followers, at best they'll end up some irrelevant sergeant major.

Short =

Poor parents
Poor nutrition (which results in low IQ)
Higher exposure to lead pipes, due to poor housing
Larger propensity for obesity (as its correlated with low income diets that resulted in the manlet being a manlet in the first place)
Propensity for unforcused aggression (resulting in jail time and low level jobs requiring less discipline)
Low status in any given organization (shorties aren't MAJCOM commanders or CEOs for a fucking reason)

Manlets aren't too intelligent and should serve basic roles doing jobs that could be easily automated. They can take charge of morale events but that's about it. Not fit to lead.

tall people can peek out of trenches more easily and also leave the trench more easily

But a manlet? Manlets will have trouble peeking over the trench, therefore get no kills therefore being a waste of resources

all the manlet can do is be stuck because he can't climb out of the trench due to the midgetness and therefore die of starvation because he is a fucking manlet piece of shit.

manlets should be banned form the military
>>
>>33882264
Mark is 5' 7", your argument is invalid.
>>
military vehicles, even NATO ones, are designed for manlets.

even worse if you are over 6 foot and have broad shoulders.

if you are too tall and are a helicopter pilot in the army. you can only fly chinooks. because nothing else is big enough for you to sit in.

The Chubby chink was his first waifu in his laifu before he got filthy stinking rich and stayed by his side all these years.
>>
>>33884667
Dealing with women who hang around the wealthy, not a bad idea. I imagine they have an actual relationship instead of the trophy wife whose cucking the busy rich dude who is two steps away from aerating his throat with a bullet.

Working as a concierge for several years at a luxury apartment building has taught me a lot about the rich. A lot of them are miserable. They may have more money than you'll ever look at in your life but they tend to be utterly miserable. They often lack true friendships and relationships that have depth.

So while you may laugh at his wife not being physically attractive (because we all know how you pull in some real quality tail, eh?) she probably is someone he enjoys being around. If I'm not mistaken they were together for a long time. I know girls seem scary to you, little boy, but one day you'll see that looks aren't everything.

The Russians have the habit of sending tall men to infantry while short ones to tanks. It allows to make your tanks smaller. I believe this practise was inherent from similar policy employed by the Tsarists Russia before tanks were invented.

Here's a chunk of his MOH citation in case some people don't know who he is.

Behind him to his right one of our tank destroyers received a direct hit and began to burn. It's crew withdrew to the woods. Lieutenant Murphy continued to direct artillery fire which killed large numbers of the advancing enemy infantry. With the enemy tanks abreast of his position, Lieutenant Murphy climbed on the burning tank destroyer which was in danger of blowing up any instant and employed its .50 caliber machine gun against the enemy. He was alone and exposed to the German fire from three sides, but his deadly fire killed dozens of Germans and caused their infantry attack to waver. the enemy tanks, losing infantry support, began to fall back. For an hour the Germans tried every available weapon to eliminated Lieutenant Murphy, but he continued to hold his position and wiped out a squad which was trying to creep up unnoticed on his right flank. Germans reached as close as 10 yards only to be mowed down by his fire. He received a leg wound but ignored it and continued the single-handed fight until his ammunition was exhausted. He then made his way to his company, refused medical attention, and organized the company in a counterattack which forced the Germans to withdraw. His directing of artillery fire wiped out many of the enemy; he personally killed or wounded about 50

6ft 5in tall fag here

i've been paintballing a few times
(yes not real combat)
I got shot first
more head shots due to cover being too small
couldn't fit in several parts of the map due to my height.

i assume being tall in combat is not necessarily a good thing.

I'm far stronger than most people, but idk if that's much of an advantage.
>>
>>33881954

More intelligent?

The most intelligent people historically have all been Manlets
>>
>>33882173
>>33883571
>>33886030

Height and intelligence are positively correlated.

Doesn't mean causation though (ex. taller people are taller because they may have been better fed in youth which also means more brain development)
>>
6'0-6'5 is optimal. Good equal mass, being strong yet not too tall to be a hindrance in modern combat. Been that way since forever.
Good height to build solid muscle to not hinder agility yet can still lift up a battle buddy if needed. Wouldn't trust a small Manlet to lift me up in combat and if they build too much muscle then they are stocky and not agile.

Well, most modern countries still find you to be insufferable xenophobic faggots who are more conformist than China.

At least with China, USA and Canada can set up functional companies that are weighed down by total and complete regulation. And at least China can feed its people cheaply. Well, for the most part anyways.

Aren't.

Also I ain't done yet. You have people in power who still thought WW2 was a good idea, your economy is going to shit, anything that isn't country side feels like a depressed version of Shanghai.

Worst of all, you people are passive and claim to have manners and any sort of gut or grit. To that, I say ha. HA HA HA. You're no more mannered than the chink next door, tojo.

What about genetics though?
>>
>>33888203
>>33888203
Genetics are a crapshoot for height. The consistently shortest people across European history are Spanish peoples, yet Spaniards living in the US don't seem shorter than other Whites as a standard. Taller parents increase your chance of being tall, but short parents don't necessarily increase your chance of being short.

>asian person dropping litter all over the place? It's a chinese CHINK
>universally disliked tourists in all of Asia? Of course it's the subhuman chinese CHINK
>who treats manners as a novelty class for the rich? It's a Chinese CHINK.
>Who has a travel blacklist for their own citizens? The subhuman Chinese CHINK and no one else

But go ahead, Ching Chong Zhang Small Ding Dong Li Wei Tsang, you dumb chink- keep on pretending that it can only be a Japanese that has disdain for you subhuman chink rats.
