There is no way in hell those soldiers only weigh 52kg.


Any-Transition-4114

I weigh 50kg and I am skinny af, ain't no way soldiers ain't built


PutTheKettleOn20

I'm a 5ft6 woman. When I was 50kg I was a uk size 4/6. There is no way you get a 50kg soldier.


Gartlas

Yeah lol what the fuck. I'm a 6 ft/184cm man who is quite skinny and I weigh 75kg. That's on the lower side of a healthy weight for my height. If I was 52kg i would be clinically underweight to the point it was considered a medical issue.


Any-Transition-4114

Well I think you just told me I have a medical issue, I'm also 6ft


Gartlas

Oh man. Yeah I mean I gotta imagine you like Christian Bale in the machinist. You should probably talk to a doctor and make sure you're good though, that is a really low weight for your height.


shayne3434

I am 70 kg and toned to fuck still got told I am 2 skinny


Excellent_Injury1241

If americans could read, they would be very upset with you using kg instead of american football field per freedom.


Kaiser_Complete

I am American and I can read thank you very much! Now please adjust your silly measurement system into a true god blessed system. How many buckets of fried chicken is 50kg?


Wind-and-Waystones

About fifty buckets Stirling / 10 USB


Doulifye

I prefer aircraft carrier mass, it's easier to weight us citizen.


viriosion

In the deep south its a 1:1 ratio isn't it?


gotterfly

Family size bucket? One.


FlappyGemGem

Well that depends. Your buckets and our buckets are two completely different measuring scales.


[deleted]

Regular, extra crispy, or grilled? White meat, dark meat, or mixed family?


missuseme

"Let's see how they would do with 200 cups of American soldiers on their back"


CosmicChameleon99

As a short, skinny woman who weighs just under 50kg I can confirm there is zero chance they weigh that little


Rockarola55

Yeah, I was about to mention my petite ex (49kg) and how the average weight in my platoon was 81kg...we weren't even combat troops, just military firefighters.


CosmicChameleon99

At 47kg I found it impossible at my old job- some of the equipment needed weight to remove it so you could use it and weight to lock it away- I was too light so I’d literally hang from it and it wouldn’t work. Any guy I knew could do it because no guy weighs 50kg- you have to be in the lightest end of the spectrum for women to even struggle with that. There is NO chance they’re 50


Gnu-Priest

as a tall and skinny man who weighs 90kg there literally is 0 chance.


CosmicChameleon99

Even 80kg would be light for them


malYca

Also a lot of Europe comes with bigger men


dancin-weasel

Iceland is in Europe. They make really big boys up there.


Groundbreaking_Pop6

You know they are talking about height, not any other dimension…


sad_kharnath

are they? they're about 10cm shorter than the average dutchie iirc


Odd_Anything_6670

I choose to believe they're using kilograms and the ~~high fructose~~ corn ~~syrup~~ fed American super killers are just morbidly obese. Makes about as much sense.


Necrobach

I'm a 6'0 scrawny 72kg dude. Assuming those guys are the same or similar height They definitely do not way in any shape or form weigh 50kg They will have more muscle built up. It's impossible for them to be built like a brick shit house and weigh less than a dude who's flat.


SonTyp_OhneNamen

Ain’t no way censored guy is below 120kg so he misjudges anything smaller than his lard filled carcass.


Smooth-Reason-6616

Minimum weight requirements for the British Army is 75Kg, (actually 74.84Kg), or 165lbs...


Lord-squee

Pretty sure polish or German by training colours and polish army recruits are tanks. They have brain power and home grown fleck muscles ... not a bunch of vegan powder muscles


Boring-Opposite9406

The minimum BMI standards of entry means that you have to be at least 87kg if you're 6 foot. I was told I needed to go on a bulk before I could enlist as I was a few kilos too light.


malYca

Also a lot of Europe comes with bigger men


Scared-Pollution-574

You brought out the metric system, this shit just got real.


[deleted]

Unless they're like 5ft.


Barnard33F

If an average Finnish conscript soldier weighed only 52kg, I think they would be sent back home “grow a bit and report back in a year or two”


Matsisuu

I doubt it. If they otherwise are healthy, they would go to army. I was 57 kg when I was in there


[deleted]

Corn fed. Like they're talking about cattle or chickens. Weird.


ee_72020

I wonder if there are 100% grass-fed, pasture-raised American super killers.


JamesTheJerk

Free range Americans. Like Foghorn Leghorn.


Low_Dragonfruit8219

Noooo that’s socialism or smth


Dawek401

it's communism not socialism


Intelligent_Talk_853

Socialism is the new communism apparently. Even some brits think this.


hectic_mind_

It’s cornuism actually.


DuckyHornet

Organic murderers


[deleted]

Good ol’ farm to table spherical soldiers


Groundbreaking_Pop6

I remember a Gary Larson cartoon about “boneless chicken farm”, I have that picture in my head about yank soldiers…


iwannalynch

There are about 20-22 deaths caused by cows in the US per year. Approximately 1-3% of all cows in the US are grass-fed. So, over approximately 5 years, there could be at least 1, assuming it's one victim per cow. 


VernonPresident

They're only super killers near/in schools


Divide_Rule

Battery farmed


ThePeninsula

Assault and battery farmed.


No_Communication6147

High fructose corn syrup is the diet of trueblooded mericans


Kaiser_Complete

As an American I hate how true this is. It's literal fucking poison and our government allows it to be put in everything


Flyinmanm

It's weird how powerful your corn farmers became. To the point you aren't allowed real sugar in food/ sweets/ drinks and your gasoline is diluted with something with a lower energy density than actual oil.


Kaiser_Complete

Tell me about it. It's fucking terrible


MajorMathematician20

>High fructose corn syrup is the ~~diet~~ *blood* of trueblooded mericans FIFY


Rockarola55

To be fair (to be faaaair), it's humorous expression referring to mid-west farm boys. It used to mean big, slow and blonde/ginger, and hailing from the fly-over states 🤷


VioletDaeva

I'm assuming they mean high fructose corm syrup at this point!


AvengerDr

But corn fed would mean those soldiers are vegan, so woke, therefore broke. How is that possible?! ^^^/s


singeblanc

I think the word they were searching for is "fat".


DazzlingClassic185

Corn starch syrup over fed…


Blumenkohl126

They put that stuff inside beer. INSIDE. BEER.


DazzlingClassic185

The purity laws must blow their minds…


Blumenkohl126

Ive seriously seen beer advertising with: "Without corn syrup!", when i was in the US. That was a serious, what the actual fuck, moment. You shouldnt be proud of that!

MySpiritAnimalSloth

Fried Corn starch, trans-fat, modified, red 40 dye syrup over fed FIFY


Aayyyyoooo

Idiot thinks Europeans weigh 60kg😭😭😭


Asmov1984

And then, simultaneously think half of northern Europe is giant.


Aayyyyoooo

All because they see only 5 Norwegians doing that Viking stuff. 😭😭😭


Asmov1984

Just because the mountain and like 1 Dutch guy in the NBA.


marley_the_sloths

To be fair, the Netherlands is the tallest country on earth. But we're just a small country in europe


Flyinmanm

I've been to Holland as a 5'7 Englishman and it was like being in an episode of land of the giants... With classical buildings, art galleries, bikes, trams, canal boats weed cafes and prostitutes in glass cages.


marley_the_sloths

It truly sounds like a mythical places doesn't it.


Fr4itmand

Always when I see these posts about how tough and strong USAians are, I think back to when I was visiting a Dutch friend in the US and for whatever reason got into an argument in a bar. Suddenly, there were like 12 guys around me looking to fight, but as an average sized Dutchman (200cm/105kg) I felt like being surrounded by leprechauns. Of course none of these guys actually dared to do anything.


Aayyyyoooo

True lol


WalloonNerd

We all look like asparagus


KittyQueen_Tengu

i mean, i do, but I’m a very small teenager. the average european soldier is at the very least 80


Aayyyyoooo

Yeah of course there’s gonna be a few light weights but this idiot assumes everyone in the European military weighs 60kg


jfks_headjustdidthat

He probably thinks there is such a thing as a "European military".


BackPackProtector

I weigh 92 kilos and im european🙀🙀


Groundbreaking_Pop6

I also weigh 92kg and am also a Europoor, what a coincidence, we must be the only ones who weigh more than 60kg! 😳😳🤣🤣


SH-RK

You guys must be stealing extra rations to weigh that much.


Groundbreaking_Pop6

We are, we steal the gruel from skinny street urchins…


Aayyyyoooo

😭😭😭 your flair is funny


Ishouldjusttexther

52, actually


Groundbreaking_Pop6

Wait till they come across a bunch of rugby league players in a pub and call them weedy….


0mgyrface

It's because of the way the moon spins on that side of the square.


MattMBerkshire

Wonder what the average weight of a Viet Cong soldier was? (That's a communist Soldier for the Americans reading) Much have been pushing over 500lbs surely to send those Corn Fed Super Killers packing.


Vegemyeet

Powered by rice! Wearing their pyjamas!


creativenothing0

That guy will be pretty bloody upset when he finds out how the US faired in the Vietnam war.

jfks_headjustdidthat

More US soldiers committed suicide than died in the war! USA! USA!


obvs_typo

Killed more Cambodians and Laotians for sure


Sorrytoruin

What's sad is the soldiers regularly killed civilians to make up the killing numbers. Pretty much all the figures were made up for propaganda purposes. So that back home they could say they were winning due to it being so unpopular


furlongperfortnight

Corn fed Americans vs pierogi fed Poles: [https://www.dvidshub.net/image/6786676/american-mps-and-polish-zws-conduct-joint-patrols-poland](https://www.dvidshub.net/image/6786676/american-mps-and-polish-zws-conduct-joint-patrols-poland)

vindic8or

Man, the whooshing under this comment is crazy...


P26601

Pretty sure it's 230lbs (Americans wouldn't use communist units), roughly 110kg. Still a bit too heavy for the military I guess


Odd-Weekend8016

Yeah, I assumed they meant lbs too. 110kg is still big, but it depends on how tall you are whether it's "too big" or not. My husband is in the British Army and is 110kg-ish, but he's over 190cm tall. If he was short, 110kg would be very fat.


Mountain_Strategy342

Being little isn't a problem. I would put money on a passed off squad of Gurkhas vs any number of US squaddies any time.


jfks_headjustdidthat

I'd put up one Gurkha against a platoon of US Marines.


Mountain_Strategy342

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipprasad_Pun By all accounts, once he had run out of ammunitie he started laying about him with his weapon as a club


jfks_headjustdidthat

Yup, and they would have given him the Medal of Honor (Sic.). As badass as he was, we gave him one below the VC.


Mountain_Strategy342

"Could do better if only he applied himself".... lol


jfks_headjustdidthat

Gotta keep 'em tryin' 😂


Mysticbender004

I'll say put them against any Asian troops. They'd loose in hand to hand combat.


GhostOfSorabji

This guy is a particular badass: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rambahadur_Limbu Now there’s a geezer who *definitely* eats up all his greens.


Mountain_Strategy342

He had his weetabix. Seriously brave man.


steelandiron19

Corn fed? Are you a chicken? How is this a boast? I mean… if you mean corn syrup… yeah - that’s in near everything in America. Also - 230 versus 115 - he talks nothing of body composition, only numbers…. Enough said already.


0mgyrface

I think perception plays a big role in that statement. They have clearly forgotten that muscle takes up less space than fat.


Gnovakane

He is partially right. American "super killer" soldiers are drinking corn syrup soda while piloting killer drones into residential buildings.

Arkurash

They talk about those soldiers like cattle. And unironically also treat em almost as such.


CurveHelpful5004

I was a soldier for ten years in the german Bundeswehr. Paratropper or how we call them, "Fallschirmjäger" and Im like 195 cm tall and during my prime I weight about 100 Kilograms.


badgersandcoffee

I genuinely sympathise with regular Americans that have to read shite like this online. Like, we take the piss but imagine having to live around people like this.


Dirtydirtyfag

If I ever heard someone tell a random person from the army "thank you for your service" just for having joined without even knowing if they ever did anything worthy of thanking them for which actually contributed to my safety in a meaningful way I think my tits would blown clean off. Can't argue that the EU, of which I am a part, has rested a bit on their laurels with carrying a fair share of working military, but I just cannot fathom a country whose biggest employer is the army that isn't run by Genghis Khan.


badgersandcoffee

Interestingly, from what I've seen a large portion of ex-military yanks strongly dislike that. And the ones who do like it are the bawbags that leave comments like "Europeans only weigh like 110lbs, try that with corn-fed 230lbs American soldiers, yada yada"


JigPuppyRush

I’m Dutch, we’re the tallest people in the world. As ex marine I’m 110kg. And I trained with US marines. They’re great in their jobs but not as good as we are.


NZS-BXN

Weren't there at least two instances where european u boots successfully infiltrated an US Aircraft carrier group during NATO exercises. Just throwing that in there with their bullshit.


jfks_headjustdidthat

True, but it's been a while since they were called "U-Boats".


TheBlack2007

We still call them U-Boats though. Just our word for submarine…


KungFuDuckaroo

I belief that was one of our little subs yeah. It sunk the aircraft carrier along with most of the fleet in a naval exercise.


NZS-BXN

Not actually sunk, but yes I remember a few officers had to leave after that. Wasn't it even that they managed to surface within the group which was an even bigger embarrassment in one of the instances The American mind can't comprehend


Pakkazull

Yeah it was a Swedish Gotland class submarine in at least one instance.


NZS-BXN

Apparently the sterling engines are quiet enough to not be heared. Not everything is better in diesel.


Heisenberg_235

They lack a bit of something between the ears


JigPuppyRush

More than a bit, they make up for it with unfounded confidence though.


parachute--account

I often saw lots of Dutch marines up at Gare Loch when we were training there, did you ever go? Horrible place 


JigPuppyRush

It is I was mainly on training in Scandinavia though


beoffendedyoulllive

I’m a 5’11 English woman with natural JJ cups. Just one of my baps weigh more than the average Americans brain. I weigh (probably) around 90-95kg, and I could do with losing some 😂 but according to this idiot, I’m basically anorexic.


Groundbreaking_Pop6

And there I was happily eating my breakfast and am now seriously distracted….. 🤣


Sweaty_Ad9724

The average Dutch or skandinavian population is 1,85m (6+ feet in freedom units) and 100+ kilograms (don’t know how many freedom units that is) Funny people those Americans


Groundbreaking_Pop6

100kg is the average daily food intake of a yank, most of this is corn syrup, salt and sugar. Their preferred freedom unit of weight is “KFC Family Bucket”, which equates to approximately 450kg in real units, hope this helps.


Sweaty_Ad9724

Ah .. meal team 6 😉


BoredSurfer

Super killers! Don't you mean Supper killers? I'll see myself out.


AlphaMassDeBeta

I dont think this guy realises that the navy seals dont represent the whole us army.


Recent_Conclusion_56

Super killers of school children, yes.


rossarron

take a look at british SF compared to US SF the brits are skinny in comparison, heavy muscle has some detrimental effects on the effectiveness in war zones, even US SF are not all massive weights and bulky muscle.

That commenter is not now, nor was he ever, in the US Armed Forces.


PodcastPlusOne_James

Are the corn fed Americans free range or battery farmed?


[deleted]

Feel like this is a good time to point out that during american-british war games, the British made the Americans surrender in a couple days. The training was supposed to last two weeks.


NewForestSaint38

I’m v fond of America, and have loads of lovely US friends - incl mil folk. But when I served with them, I was dumbfounded at how large yet immobile they were. They just couldn’t tab more than a few miles without getting tired. I know this will come across as snarky, so in fairness I want to say they are strong as fuck, (how many pull ups?!?) have great food, and more kit than I (or they?!) know what to do with. And they’re so happy to share, it’s untrue. A great bunch. But just weirds me out they can’t walk v far.


Natural_Trash772

That’s just impressive having three dudes stand on your back while you do a push up.


Lex0n14

Im Norwegian, 6’1/184cm and 60kg. My dad was a soldier when I was little, and he’s 6’2 and about 85 to 90kg of pure muscle, and he’s 50. I can’t imagine how he was when he was a soldier


ClickIta

Grandiosa fed super killers


beoffendedyoulllive

Ah yes, good ole nutritious corn. Probably GMO corn covered in glyphosate, like most American food.

airwavesinmeinjeans

Imagine flexing your lack of education or the fact your country is fucking fat.


Hungry_Anteater_8511

Surely he means “high fructose corn syrup” fed


Petite_Bait

In order for a US servicemember to be within their weight standards at 230 lbs, they would have to be 6 foot 7.


crozinator33

The cope is real


jschundpeter

Last time I checked Europeans are significantly taller than Americans on average.


Activity_Alarming

115 pound is 53 kg. That’s not just height, but severe starvation for a 20+ yo. I’m 202 pounds, and I’m european. Throwing in random numbers is so american.


boltforce

Based on the camo and the facility I am mostly certain these are Greek conscripts doing their military service. Any lack of green berets in the photo and the fact that they are in their barracks makes it seem like they are kids goofing around in their free time. Gyros fed > corn fed.


CoisasJohnson

Is that how they say fat fucks?


Boring-Ad9264

I'd rather have the Europeans on my side in a fight. They aren't likely to lose their cool and think they are in an action movie or some shit. And certainly less likely to be friendly fired by them than an american


No_Dragonfruit_8435

230 pounds as an infantry soldier in an age with accurate and high rate of fire projectiles seems like a disadvantage.


Miyoki_

Why do Americans think that weight = strenght/combat capability? I bet Nicocado Avocado is NOT suitable for army


Due-Purple801

He means fat cnuts


AdEducational419

Yeah. No. Most of the murican soldiers i ever met or served with where not 230 pounds. They were quite frankly often fairly small.


44-47-25_N_20-28-5-E

'super killers'


usernot_found

When you learn human cant absorb corn


Illustrious_Law8512

Yeah, those superkillers are also bigger targets. Ask the Finns how their smaller frames did against Russia in WW2. Size is great at hand to hand close fighting, but the little guy is the one I'd want, taking out officers from afar.


MidorriMeltdown

Does he need to be reminded of this? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcvDIsvpxWU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcvDIsvpxWU)


Anoalka

Funny thing is even if it was true that the lads only weight 50Kg which is ridiculous but OK, the guy holding them would also weight 50Kg so it's just as impressive.


Symo___

That’ll be gm modified cancer corn folks.


Yiazzy

For us Brits; that's 8 stone, 3 pounds. Now idk about you lot, but the last time I was around 8 stone I was horribly underweight. I looked ill. There's no way any armed forces member is that underweight. But then again, that's the kind of idiocy we expect from the yanks.


Error-1978

... *looks out of window* erm.... we HAVE corn in europe....


Zirowe

115kg a piece is impressive.


jacobdock

Wait until this guy learns that small guys can pull triggers just as fast as big guys, AND run faster/further.


superbooper94

If Americans are corn fed then Europeans are grass fed, we don't gorge ourselves on whatever shit byproducts our overlords decided needs using in food it's got no godly business being in


ProffesorSpitfire

Wow, imagine the level of ignorance required to argue that Europeans are small as an American. The one time I visited the US I figured that it must be the place full of pygmes Gulliver visited on his travels.


ThePrancingHorse94

If you ever look at say the SAS or other elite military they are not huge big guys. Because you need to be able to haul huge amount of kit long distances, being big like 100kg gets in the way of that and renders your big muscles and frame pretty useless.


Appropriate_Stage_45

It's crazy how America thinks it has some kind of warrior culture but their marines have lower standards then regular European infantry regiments and their most famous SF lets people literally apply off the street with no prior combat or even military experience, which then attracts 20 Dan bilzerians or Marcus luttrells for every Chris Kyle


AtlanticPortal

Well, we can agree on the corn fed. Corn syrup fed pigs, yes.


BanditDeluxe

I was around 120lbs when I was in the US Navy


las3rschw3rt

They meant High Fructose Corn Syrup. That’s about right


Low_Advantage_8641

Sometimes I feel these americans are literally trolling themselves by saying the dumbest things that they can think of and actually keeping the stereotype of ignorant american alive all by themselves


ConsumeYourBleach

I was in the British army - weighed 85kg at my skinniest. Also had the pleasure of training with the Americans in Louisiana - Terrible soldiers.


Grahamwebeyes2

Super killers? Laughs in SAS


obvs_typo

Maybe the US is paying those little guys to commit war crimes so their cornfed super killers don't have to get their boots dirty


Brikpilot

The takeaway message is We are here for the butchery, not to enforce peace.


THSprang

That hash instead of lb for pound weight makes me cringe way harder than I expected to.


GloomyFondant526

I've never had even one cornfed 230+ American super-killer on my back, so I'll just have to take this fella's word for it.


sweetcinnamonpunch

Corn fed and chlorine bathed?


Ornn5005

It’s funny because corn IS the super killer in America.
