Drafting Guys over 60

This one is really worth considering

This is so funny and obviously written by a Former Soldier.

NEW DIRECTION FOR ANY WAR

Send Service Vets over 60!

I’m 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 bass-ackwards.  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 55.

Researchers say 18-year-olds think about sex every 10 seconds.  Old guys

only think about sex a couple of times a week, 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 shoot some a-hole 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 noon.  Old guys always get

up

early to take a whizz, 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 shooting at some fanatical

son-of-a-beeatch.”

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 shucking 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 have never seen a single 20-foot wall with plucking 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, grow hair on his chest and learn 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

shucking 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!
