Also keeping the things useful - the sergeant needs to be able to say
"this new information is being displayed in red" and know that the
troops know what he means.

It's like the Russian tank units; never mind how good you are, if you're
over 5'8" (?) you can't join. With a sufficiently large population, this
doesn't impair quality all that much... and lets you put on a bit more
armour where you would have put headroom.
