Drafting Guys Over 60
(This is funny & obviously written by a Former Soldier)
New Direction for any war: Send Service Vets over 60!
I am over 60 and the Armed Forcesthinks 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 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 s-of-a-b....
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 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 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.
***How about recruiting Women over 50 ...with PMS***
You think Men have attitudes!!! Ohhhhhhhhhhhh my God!!!
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.

Only down side I could see would be when we farted, we'd give our position away. Either that or our buddies would open up, thinking that we'd made contact with the enemy. [8D]
Seriously, though, I'm not sixty yet, and I never served in the military. But I think I could be useful somewhere over there.
get er dun
I started to make the same post and found this thread already...
I lIKE IT!!! [^]
heck, with my eye sight, i might end up shooting my buddy!
or i might give away my position by the smell of not being able to hold my bowels or urine long enough.
or how about our naps? heck...i cant work for an hour after i eat lunch.
and hearing? geesh....im so use to ignoring my wifes commands, i might miss the order to move out.
neeehh....i think i'll stay right here in my USS homeport for good and just watch them young bloods hump 100lb packs, and laugh. why? odds are 1/2 of it is probably cell phones, ipods, and laptops to talk to people back home with.[:X]

I was just thinkin' that we've had it all wrong all these years...
Until a few years ago, wimmin weren't allowed near the front lines to fight...
But, you know, this idea probably got started by the enemy anyways!
They know if the wimmin ever got involved, it'd be over before it got started!!!! And ne'r a shot fired either... Who would be able to confront a mad, screaming, bunch of wimmin who was already pizzed due to PMS and was upset they were on the front lines anyways?
Not I! nor the enemy I suspect either!
An 18-year-old doesn't even like to get up before 10 a.m. Old guys always get up early to pee
Yep!
Good Morning, Old Pharts Club Members!!!
