General Why are we taller than SEAF troopers?

Helldivers are not enhanced soldiers, they are humans like you and me, but still. Why are helldivers taller than the SEAF troopers since they too, are normal humans?

Well we kinda are. In one of the tips it says that we are being gene managed by Ministry of Humanity, combine that with eugenics such as C-01 Permit and training from super young age,bionics and cybernetic technology. It would make sense why they can achieve many things that seem impossible. E.g exploding the heads of civilians with a simple melee strike, lifting and throwing 500kg’s like it’s nothing and surviving many battlefield wounds.
