Seems reasonable...Let the taller Chads die in a foreign country.

Hope this will also be the case when ww3 breaks out.

explains why the british are some of the ugliest people in europe. They unintentionally killed off all their Chads in two World Wars

Nah. Equal opportunity death coming soom.

WTF? The average height back then was around 5'8, right? How could they have possibly built an army if the average man was not allowed?

Kek I would still be a manlet in WW era USA

Germans with their pickelhaube were shorter, hence why they lost the war. Tallfags always prevail

tfw 5'7" doesn't cut it even 100 years ago

 

[Dionysus]

one bad thing about being tall

Not in WW1, you could easily lie about your age. 15-60 year olds were signing up

You could've been sent to fight the Ottomans in modern day Iraq
