But the military has the right to discriminate in a lot of ways, no? Plus you have to fit an ejection seat right? Flew with a Captain that twisted arms to "lose 2 inches" in sitting height when he was in the Navy so that could go fly jets. It worked out fine until the A-7 got a new seat and those "thingies" that broke the canopy were now below his helmet. So he finished out in A-4s.
