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 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 asshole 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
son-of-a-bitch.
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. 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-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 out run 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 those 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.
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.
