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 jerk 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. I can hear the Drill Sgt. In
the 'New army' now, 'Get down and give me ... ER . One.'
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 stil l 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 right now is a couple of million pissed
off old guys with attitudes and automatic weapons who know that their best
years are already behind them. Also, we won't get in trouble for mistreating
prisoners. WE WON'T TAKE ANY!
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 you can read it!!!!
