S
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
a$$-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 bastage 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-b!tch.
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 yelli ng.
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
