John or George?

100 soldiers form a 10*10 square. From every column the tallest soldier is chosen, and from these 10 soldiers, the shortest is chosen. Let John be his name. In the same position than the beginning, from every line the shortest soldier is chosen, and from these 10 soldiers, the tallest is chosen. Let George be his name. Who do you think is taller: John or George?
