On Average
-
In the Civil War, the average American soldier was 5'7" and weighed about 140 pounds (about an inch and a half taller than the average British soldier of the time). In WW2, the average GI was 5'8", but still about 140 pounds...Guys tended to gain a little weight in Basic and expanded their 34" chest a bit.
Today, the average soldier is 5'9" and 185 pounds.
“Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”
Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton
