I believe @E32005 still hasn't explained why it's OK to exclude tall and short people from serving in the military but it's not OK to exclude a group that is much more likely to cause damage to themselves.

You know how amusement park rides usually have minimum and maximum heights for rides?

It's the same damn concept. All vehicles are standardized. This includes shit like airplanes and submarines. That's why you can't have manlets (like TC) or Giants in the military.

I think we should kill short people for being inadequate and tall people cuz they take up too many resources

@Doom_Art logic:

Excluding short and tall people from the military: No cause for outrage

Excluding transsexuals from the military: SHUT. DOWN. EVERYTHING.

Standard sized units for vehicles and other such things.
Neither someone too short or too tall could be a pilot, for example.

Hey, if they are willing to serve in the military, then a higher cost to allow them to serve than the average recruit is no excuse!

We all know the military is well known for having little funding. Maybe not allowed in every position, but healthcare or different sized uniforms are not going to be the huge money sink in the military.

You actually had a bit of point until you said manlet. That just made it easier for people to call you out. The logic is flawed too (since short and tall people could specialize).


Specialize in what? The only jobs I can think of would all have to be on base.

We all know the military is well known for having little funding.

So then they should pay for special uniforms and planes in case a really short guy wants to be a pilot, yes?

No matter what stupid argument you come up with, there will always be more short people than transgender people.

Short people would cost a lot more than trans.

But wait, I thought the military should just eat the cost since they have so much funding

There's this really cool thing that the military uses when it wants to break the rules. It's called a waiver, and it's more powerful than General Patton in a Sherman tank with the high ground and 15 minutes to plan.

The military accomodates as needed, according to what laws are in place and the fundings that are made available. Here is an example, regarding the redesign for submarines that women will serve aboard:

http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/military/the-intel/sd-me-submarines-women-20170420-story.html

"That means overhead valves will be placed lower and made easier to turn, and steps will be installed allowing shorter people to reach triple-high bunks and the top of stacked laundry machines, the Associated Press reports.

Other examples are seats that can be moved closer to instrument displays and emergency air masks that attach at the side of passageways, instead of overhead.

Designers are also adding more bathrooms and more doors to create separate sleeping areas for men and women"

You aren't a very good troll man.
I know this awful new age trolling is more of a "HAHA I GOT THEM TO RESPOND TO ME I'M A MASTER TROLL!" but you gotta put in more effort than this.

And please, don't bother your next response will either be "Can you explain how I'm trolling?" or "Having a different outlook is trolling?"
