Drafting Guys over 60

----this is funny & obviously written by a Former Soldier----

New Direction for any war: Send Service Vets over 60!

I am over 60 and the Armed Forces thinks I'm too old to track down terrorists. You can't be older than 42 to join the military. They've got the whole thing ass-backwards. Instead of sending 18-year olds off to fight, they ought to take us old guys. You shouldn't be able to join a military unit until you're at least 35.

For starters:
Researchers say 18-year-olds think about sex every 10 seconds.. Old guys only think about sex a couple of times a day, leaving us more than 28,000 additional seconds per day to concentrate on the enemy.

Young guys haven't lived long enough to be cranky, and a cranky soldier is a dangerous soldier. 'My back hurts! I can't sleep, I'm tired and hungry' We are impatient and maybe letting us kill some ******* that desperately deserves it will make us feel better and shut us up for a while.

An 18-year-old doesn't even like to get up before 10 a.m. Old guys always get up early to pee so what the hell. Besides, like I said, 'I'm tired and can't sleep and since I'm already up, I may as well be up killing some fanatical s-of-a-b....

If captured we couldn' t spill the beans because we'd forget where we put them. In fact, name, rank, and serial number would be a real brainteaser.

Boot camp would be easier for old guys. We're used to getting screamed and yelled at and we're used to soft food. We've also developed an appreciation for guns. Most of us have been using them for years as an excuse to get out of the house, away from the screaming and yelling.

They could lighten up on the obstacle course however. I've been in combat and didn't see a single 20-foot wall with rope hanging over the side, nor did I ever do any pushups after completing basic training.

Actually, the running part is kind of a waste of energy, too. I've never seen anyone outrun a bullet.

An 18-year-old has the whole world ahead of him. He's still learning to shave, to start up a conversation with a pretty girl. He still hasn't figured out that a baseball cap has a brim to shade his eyes, not the back of his head.

These are all great reasons to keep our kids at home to learn a little more about life before sending them off into harm's way.

Let us old guys track down thos e dirty rotten coward terrorists.. The last thing an enemy would want to see is a couple of million pissed off old farts with attitudes and automatic weapons who know that their best years are already behind them.

***How about recruiting Women over 50 ...with PMS !!!
You think Men have attitudes !!! Ohhhhhhhhhhhh my God!!!

If nothing else, put us on border patrol....we will have it secured the first night!

Share this with your senior friends. It's purposely in big type so they can read it.

the scopes on the riffles would have to be adjusted for the bad eye site....LOL
 
Generals should have to fight wars. They wouldn't last near as long...

"Most" generals have fought wars. They have been there and done that. They are in the position they are in so they can lead with experience. anyone with common sense knows you don’t put your most valuable assets in harms way.

This is at least speaking from a Marine perspective and Marine generals. I am sure the other services are the same.

No bull Raul...if ALL generals would be in the fight (against) other generals (we could include all command staff) war's would end much quicker than they do now with our apparently expendable young soldiers. What's the toll so far, somewhere over 4,000 US soldiers killed, some as young as 18, and for what? Let the officers fight it out! After a few of them go by the wayside, maybe their bosses would think twice before engaging in such a ridiculous war.
 
Not to minimize the significance of their 4K + lives but during America's fight for freedom, the days of WWI & WWII saw losses greater than that in a single day. Their sacrifice and blood loss helped get us where we are today. Do you really think it was ridiculous?

Thats differant. generals against generals is a totally differant idea.


Didnt they used to do something like that in some countries thousands of years ago. one on one, leader against leader. winner take all?

I thought you were referring to putting Generals on the front lines period. they wouldnt last a minute, they would be picked off.

But ok, put 20 of our generals in a field with 20 of their generals. hand to hand only. could be interseting.

Winner take all
