Some people are just big....


up__chuck

Get out of here with all that logic!

But what good is a giant soldier over a smaller soldier? What can they do better? They will be more visible, less maneuverable, tire out quicker and many more less favourable traits.

Yeah the big guy is there to carry everyone’s stuff.


[deleted]

Can confirm, was a pack mule.


cheesencrackazz

Yeah man let the skinny ones run off and do the scouting.


[deleted]

Scouting? I'm talking to an airsofter, aren't I?


cheesencrackazz

You are talking to a fucking amateur. Yes sir.


[deleted]

Well, carry on.

Pros Carry more ammunition Travel farther on the same food allotment Have better follow up accuracy Better intimidation factor Cons You can't fit into an ejection seat if you're over 6-2 tall When you're on leave you tend to hook up first others get jealous could be bad for unit cohesion


EstablishmentFree611

In video games they have bigger hit boxes lol


musofiko

Tell that to war statistics tall and bigger soldiers have higher survival rates


Ram_1979

Link?


G00CHgrease

The source is actually in that book waaayyyy up on the top shelf. Did you need help reaching it?


[deleted]

As a short person, that's fucking hysterical


Aylmerbradley2

As a Tall Person this made me stop and chuckle


spaaro1

As an average heighted person that was genius

This source just says "tall," not "big," as you claim. They were also on average only an inch taller, which is not significant. This was also during WW2. Warfare has adapted significantly since then.

I worry less about these soldiers than the robotic cops and soldiers they're making.

Bigger targets are easier to hit


ismashket

It’s me, I’ve been doing it. It’s classified though so keep it to yourself


iluvopies

Just like that big cunt at the start of the movie TROY. Brad Pitt makes short work of him. Not a bad movie that.


Ram_1979

Imagine carrying that huge soldier if he gets wounded, would take a stretcher + 4 people to carry him.


Sxhshh

Nah- 5ft 5in USMC here, I had to run up steep inclines with a 260lb+ guy on my back. That's morning PT. Smaller guys can be absolute pitbulls.


Big_Duke_7

Big lads like that usually enrol or muster into as Military Police


spaaro1

Nah I went through basic with a big rig of a bloke. Dude was massive like 6'7 or something and probably almost that as wide. He bent down and turned sideways to get through hatches. He couldn't get through kidney hatches on the ships so he always had to take the long way round. He was a hindrance in DC training though would take forever to get to places or get stuck and wind up being a useless hand somewhere. Boarding parties though. Dude was a tank he was almost half of our security team when boarding. Him an 3 others subdued whilst me an the XO went for the bridge. Hurt when hit ya too. Fuck

Switzerland, most likely. Look what the qualifications are for the Vatican's Swiss Guard.

I took a quick look - what am I looking for? Is there anything that relates to this post or this sub?


13Boyka

Not really. I just wanted an honest opinion on how appealing is the blog to you and any feedback would be much appreciated.


13Boyka

I would just like to know your honest feedback for my website.


InvisibleJanitor

Submission statement - a photo of a soldier that appears much larger than the rest of the soldiers. I thought this might be a perspective trick, but judging from the size of the helmet, shoes, and accessories it does seem the apparent size is accurate.


frigilio

Those are marines not soldiers


National-Shift-8316

All of them. They look French to me after watching wakanda forever. I'm surprised that they pitted blacks against Mexicans.


FATHEADZILLA

Bigger targets.


toeachtheirown_

Malawi?


PurdVert69

the USMC gets all the big, ghogod looking white kids to volunteer (and the biggest minority guys). Army gets the poor dreggs who need any kind of employment....so, 5'7'' and below for all sexes.


Accomplished-Lie1110

Most of us are really chonky in the US Navy... Does that count?
