Greek interview of short Korean war veteran rejected for a job because of height

The man in the video served in Korea for 1–2 years. Returning home, he applied for an army job as a veteran. A general, mistaking him at first for an American, asked his height after noticing his short stature. When the veteran said 1.60 m (5'3"), the general told him to leave, citing a 1.70 m (5'7") height requirement still enforced today. The veteran protested, noting no one measured him before the war despite multiple medical exams. The argument escalated, but the general refused him, forcing him into years of petty jobs. A decade later, a governor who knew of his sacrifices gave him a decent job. In the video, he still resents the general for the injustice.
