Oh I get that people can be tall. I mean it is only a squad of like five people maybe they just randomly happened to be bigger than average, averages after all are just that, and it's certainly not a thread made out of jealousy, I mean you wouldn't believe me if I gave my height.
I'm just curious as to whether it'll be reflected in game, and their reasons for choosing to make them this height. Because of links to machismo, quickly establishing them as hard bastards? Or was it because it would be simpler to make you a slightly smaller than a Spartan rather than having to deal with all the problems that might arise if you are just slightly taller than a grunt.
Though interestingly, those in the army who have to do a lot of running tend to be smaller then average. I might be able to lift more than a five foot nothing guy, but he can run without destroying his knees (tall runners if not careful grinf their knees to dust), and has an easier time pulling himself up etc. I know guys at my gym who can lift insane amounts but can't do a pull up. At a point the extra strengh gains don't make up for the weight gains affect upon mobility.
