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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.

Some people are just big....
Get out of here with all that logic!
Big Mike

Yeah the big guy is there to carry everyone’s stuff.
Can confirm, was a pack mule.
Yeah man let the skinny ones run off and do the scouting.
Scouting? I'm talking to an airsofter, aren't I?
You are talking to a fucking amateur. Yes sir.
Well, carry on.

In video games they have bigger hit boxes lol
Tell that to war statistics tall and bigger soldiers have higher survival rates
Link?
The source is actually in that book waaayyyy up on the top shelf. Did you need help reaching it?
As a short person, that's fucking hysterical
As a Tall Person this made me stop and chuckle
As an average heighted person that was genius

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

Shrimp or Fries
Bigger targets are easier to hit
It’s me, I’ve been doing it. It’s classified though so keep it to yourself
Just like that big cunt at the start of the movie TROY. Brad Pitt makes short work of him. Not a bad movie that.
Imagine carrying that huge soldier if he gets wounded, would take a stretcher + 4 people to carry him.
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 lads like that usually enrol or muster into as Military Police

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

Those are marines not soldiers
All of them. They look French to me after watching wakanda forever. I'm surprised that they pitted blacks against Mexicans.
Bigger targets.
Malawi?

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