A while ago one of the post stated one of Trumps sons could not serve in the Army, etc

was because the son was 6 foot tall. Does Trump or the rich and powerful really think that the general public is that stupid?

US Army height standards set clear rules for 2026. They ensure soldiers fit gear and perform well. Minimum height is 58 inches (4’10”) and maximum is 80 inches (6’8″ . No changes from past years. Waivers exist for roles like aviation if function isn’t harmed. Height matters for all troops.
