While I'm not here to advertise child soldiers, he did have a point in the sense that it doesn't matter that much who holds the gun.
And while some people claim you need to carry twice your body weight and do 1000 burpees without pause in order to call yourself soldier, the truth is that physical strength is not very important when it comes to someone being an asset in war.
Maybe your smaller soldiers can't stack crates as well as others, but they can operate tanks, submarines, and I'm willing to bet that the bullets they shoot fly just as fast as the bullets shot by 7 foot hunks.
Really what's important is discipline. Following orders and not freaking the frick out when things go to shit.
Otherwise giving a shit about the 'quality' of the individual soldier is idiotic, or else we'd settle wars via sword-duels by men in power-armor.
>or else we'd settle wars via sword-duels by men in power-armor.
In fairness, that was roughly (minus the power armour) how it did occur over the course of human history, how martial culture developed (only recently going into this cog-in-machine mentality where individual deeds and heroics aren't desired), and how the vast majority of people I've spoken or listened to with reasonable knowledge wish it were.
Women handle stress well enough. That’s a meme >inb4 they’re gonna cry
Who gives a shit if they cry. They still function while crying. It’s not like when men cry it’s a part of life for them
Different anon, but physical stress.
I've personally met a lot of woman that would make any dude look like a pussy, but they do get proportionally more stress fractures or injuries over a long period of exertion and work, as well as suffering in the upper body strength department.
I think the main problem is endurance and resistance to stress...
Yeah, it's why I can't take anyone seriously about people complaining about women in the army.
Like lets say they're actually physically weaker then men. Do tanks scale with strength like an RPG or something?
One of the most major issues (that no one discusses) is that mixing combat units does compromise discipline or rationality.
On top of the "introduce a woman to a room of men" phenomenon and needing an extra bathroom and barracks, most dudes seeing a woman in peril will take considerable risks they otherwise wouldn't, to alleviate this peril. It's just how we're evolved. See tiger, go away. See woman nearby you could frick, approach.
Thing is, this does present real risk to following orders, accurately judging a situation, or working well as a team. Things that are bad when bullets fly and suddenly Pvt Johnson wants to run across a machine gun in open terrain to group up with Pvt Jessica because otherwise she'd be by herself and fending off ambushers.
It's not an insurmountable evolved barrier, and breasts don't make your bullets swerve, but you're never going to get equal conscription mixed units unless the Covenant comes around.

>Smaller targets >Less material in uniforms >Less food
Kinda makes sense when you think about it. Especially if you're putting these guys in a tank or in a ship

a small man is still much stronger than the average woman
cohabitation is a hassle
they get pregnant in the military a lot
men are much more disposable PR wise
women POWs tend to get a lot of rape
Smaller target and smaller logistical footprint. Not only will a manlet consume fewer calories in the field, but you will also use less fuel transporting him there. If you have enough manlets, you can field smaller lighter vehicles. If a manlet is injured or killed in battle, it will take fewer people to recover him and your stretchers can be shorter as well. Med kits can use smaller patches and a blood transfusion will require fewer millilitres of blood/ringer's solution; you will also need less morphine for a given level of pain. If the manlet goes to OCS, he can use a smaller desk in a smaller classroom. And when the day comes where the manlet is laid to rest, whether that happens in one years or one hundred, you can dig the grave plots closer to each other, saving money spent on valuable real estate. Cents make dollars and dollars make fortunes; and the manlet is an integral part in generating the vast fortunes of the American MIC.

487 different aircraft types
The Guinness World Record holder has 487 different aircraft types on his life list. The former chief test pilot at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough, England, holds the world's record for most types of aircraft flown—a whopping 487—and the record for most carrier landings: 2,407.
I was looking at Samurai armour in a museum and I realised I’m about a foot taller than your average samurai. If I was teleported back in time I could probably pick one up and run away with him
Recently i saw a video where some dudes go to africa to hunt hippos. Legit unconfortable seeing the big guy struggling to move around compared to the smaller ones. It was there i saw how advantegeous is being short.
smaller targets and they take up less space in vehicles
Murderous rage.
if it works it works
One example, ignoramus.
>tfw you have to take a shit mid mission
require less calories
short people hate life so not afraid to die
Smaller target, and a pair of boots with a gun is a pair of boots with a gun.
Main advantage of being tall is longer legs for marching.
you can carry more shit (maybe)
They fit in tanks

Shitbulls are manglers too, a pure bred pit dog is going to be like 40 to 50lbs max
They are terriers
Yeager was a pilot, that shit doesn't count

is not a manlet

Rat tunnels. Small guys who would go into Viet Cong tunnels armed only with a pistol, combat knife, and a flashlight.

Who cares? Women are moronic overgrown children anyway.

dead manlets need smaller body bags

The Brits made whole bantam battalions during the great war just so the manlets didn't have to miss the fun.
probably most beneficial in trench warfare for sure
T-72 drivers and BMP crews
Everyone wants to be a manlet when the bullets are flying
travel size for expeditionary armies
Hump dirt better
Zipper removal.
