...this was probably written by an old vet:
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-yr. olds off to fight, they ought to send us old guys. You shouldn't be able to join until you're at least 35.
For starters, researchers say 18 yr.-olds think about sex every 10 seconds. Older guys 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 awhile.
An 18 yr.-old doesn't even like to get up before 10 am- old guys
always get up early to pee so what the hell. Besides, like I said, I'm tired and I can't sleep, and since I'm already up, might as well be trying to shoot some fanatical s.o.b. ...
If captured, we couldn't 'spill the beans', because we'd have forgotten 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 already used to getting screamed at or yelled at; and we're used to soft food. We've also developed an appreciation for guns. We've 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-ft. wall with a rope hanging over the side, nor did I ever do any push-ups after completing basic training... Actually, the running part is kind of a waste, too.I've never seen anyone outrun a bullet.
An 18 yr.-old has the whole world ahead of him. He's still learning to shave, to start up 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 the dirty rotten terrorists. The last thing an enemy would want to see is a couple million pissed off old farts with attitudes and automatic weapons who know their best years are already behind them.
And how'boutb recruiting women over 50...with PMS!!You think men have attitudes-Ohhhhhh my God!!
If nothing else, put us on border patrol...we will have it secured the first night!!
