Sounds like a draft is being planned for the occupation of Iran, aka Vietnam v.4

    Honestly with this I have doubts he’s the full 6’9". Unless we have pics of him having to duck to enter rooms or something (a friend of mine is that tall, the standard American door frame is shorter than that). Anything above 6’6" is indistinguishable to most people and just registers as “holy fuck you’re tall”. And so yeah a “fucking hell you’re tall” guy being given an extra inch or two on documents to avoid a draft is just extremely believable to me, especially when his dad is a draft dodge4 planning on starting a war.

    Anyways I have no evidence but that’s my little conspiracy theory

      Yeah I have a relative who’s similarly tall, and he was a gunner in the airforce. I have no clue how he fit into those planes but he apparently saw combat and everything.

      He had a house built for him with 8 foot door frames and 10+ foot ceilings so that he wouldn’t have to duck at home

        Oh I bet he had amazing counter heights. And yeah, once you get to these heights the social model of disability starts making their height look increasingly like a disability with how much custom and specialty stuff they need. But yeah it was really fun when we were young adults watching him drunkenly navigate buildings not made for people his size.
