    Don’t think so. Minimum height for US conscripts was 5’2. Guy on the right is probably a tall fella.

      hmmm. im looking at the guy on the far left. his arms seem long enough to let him scratch his knees. or maybe he’s crouched and the middle bit of his body is hidden behind the weapon?

      but then even the middle guy’s proportions don’t seem to conform to the median person’s.

      (i am not saying dwarfism is abnormal. i do apologise if this comment makes it seem like that.)

        He looks like he’s leaning forward a bit, but his proportions seem normal to me. Might just be the angle of the camera.

        Also, gotta consider that the uniforms of the period are often a bit baggy.
