The Short Must Stand Aside
In a rather strange move, military authorities from Tan-tai have stated that they will only take applicants who are, “tall, attractive, and polite.”
“We now routinely travel to more foreign locations than before, and it is very important that we are looked upon with the best eyes.”
Applicants are also tested to determine their professional knowledge, as well as their physical and mental stamina.
“We believe that we should present out very best, as we are the best.”
Tan-tai and Rhosian officials held joint military war-games involving their land and flight soldiers two years ago, and they conducted their first deep-space search and rescue practices with Bryttasish military organizations last year.
Kois Station has been practicing a similar policy for decades. They accept only the tallest applicants for their military programs, as the average height of a Kois Station citizen is quite smaller than the galactic average.
