Ideal Height for a Soldier in the Army
The article discusses the ideal male height for military service, proposing an inch and a half under six feet as optimal. It notes tall recruits over six feet often lack chest depth and endurance, while five feet ten and a half inches yields strong muscle and bone development. It also compares heights across races and cites Civil War data by state, warning height loss after age fifty due to physiological changes.
