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 old's 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-old's 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 terrorist that
desperately deserves it, will make us feel better , and shut us up for
awhile.
An 18-year-old doesn't even like to get up before 10am.. 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.O.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 never saw a single 20-foot wall with rope hanging over the
side, nor did I ever do any push ups 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 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 million pissed off old
farts with attitudes and automatic weapons, who know that their best
years are already behind them.
HEY!! How about recruiting Women over 50...in menopause!!! You think
MEN have attitudes??
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh my God!!! If nothing else, put them on border patrol..
They'll have it secured the first night!
This was a forwarded again and again and to stop that cycle i posted it and was written by someone I'd love to meet.
