Overkill: Redfern, I'm not sure where, but there's definitely a spot for you at Overkill Systems! Jeff: That's great, Mr. Overkill. Overkill: Your Red Rascal reminds me of myself during my leatherneck days in 'Nam. Do you know I had more enemy kills than any marine in my entire battalion? Jeff: Amazing, sir! Overkill: Even though I was the shortest! Jeff: Like size matters! Come on!
Actually there has been a minimum height for US military since 1802 (5’6" at that time). As of Vietnam it was 5’0". I believe it’s 4’10" currently.
Hard to tell if Overkill qualifies since we don’t know how tall Jeff is.
