    Hope you all enjoy this E-mail I got this morning, wish I'd wrote it!:

    Drafting men over 60----this is funny & obviously written by a Former Soldier-


    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 ******* 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-*****.


    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 ....in menopause! You think Men have attitudes! Ohhhhhh my God!
    If nothing else, put them on border patrol.... They'll have it secured the first night!





    Send this to all of your senior friends...it's in big type so they can read it.

    I can see it now.... Old farts in old pickup trucks....shotgun in one hand and a pack of Redman in the other, silhouetted on the sandy horizon as far as the eye could see. A more menacing sight could not even be imagined! :ar15: No, I'm not bashing old farts...I are one!

    I have thought this for some time. After living with my wife for almost 30 years, I really am not that frightened of getting shot any more.

    My older brother was a door gunner on a Huey. Been to the "Nam" twice, slightly wounded once, told me he can still remember how to field strip M60s, 1911As, M14s. Said he'd go if the Warrant Officers still fly like the old days, outstanding pilots. He offered to buy his own M60 since seeing all the rusted ones left behind when Saigon fell in 1975. Figures he's a little slower, hard of hearing, +25lbs, but willing to sign up. By the way he's 68yrs young and hasn't missed church for 16yrs. I do believe that terrorists would be in serious trouble if Jimmy flew with a gunship again. God bless Veterans!
