answer the question. Is it any easier for a 5'6 private to get over an 8 foot wall? Should there be an upper height limit then as those who are ofer 6' would have difficulty crawling through narrow pipes

Why?
I crawled through narrow pipes w/o difficulty and I'm ovr 6', I've seen 5'6" people get over 8' walls, but the 4"s make the difference.

So you are discriminating against them because of 4 inches? I have seen people 5'10 not get over 8'walls. What about all those who Joined the DF when the Height limit was 5'2. How did they survive? Should they all be told to leave?
Personally I discriminate against all tall people because they look wrong on the square,and ruin an otherwise good average height when carrying out ceremonial. Nothing worse than some long necked giraffe messing up your lines.Also if you have some lanky six footer at the front of a group of marching troops,his gangly steps cover the same distance that would be covered by 2 steps of a normal person. Also they have difficulty getting in and out of armoured vehicles,which are designed for normal people.
Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.
