Hey folks here's a little funny I got from a friend of mine that you might all enjoy. I thought it was pretty cute myself. Either way folks enjoy the read! old veteran


&... Drafting guys over 60
This is funny & written by a former soldier.
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 any 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 35. For starters, researchers say 18 year olds think about sex every 10 second. 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 a-hole 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 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.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 and 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 a 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 se3en 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!!

Send this to all your senior friends!

    Good one ..

    (Better yet .. )
    send those of us vets back over ..
    right after we've dealt with the 'folly' of the young ones ..
    who think that we're too 'dumb' and 'tech ignorant' ..

    (trust me .. nothing more terrifying than a elder that some little punk just disrespected .. )

    Many thanks my friend. I was happy to post it up for everyone. And I can sure agree with you here in having the ones that start the wars having their families go first.

    It was good, bman. I have a question for you. I'm 70. Would I get a nice 19 yr. old blonde female to carry my backpack and keep me warm in the pup tent?

    I sneaked in the back door to this thread. To be fair, I'll go up and answer the question.

    Hey there Rick, I never even thought about that angle. Now that would be mighty fine for sure wouldn't it?? Woooohooo! If you have to go then make it in some way that will be very much enjoyable!

    Dee, I stumbled on this on your home page when I sent you the message. There is a practical reason why they don't send men over 60 to fight. We would have better sense than to go for the reasons you sighted. We aren't about to go out and fight for the bankers in New York and London or for their stooges in Washington.

    I'm glad some do have sense enough to get that. The reason they lied cheated and stole the nomination for Romnuts was for just this reason. In the weeks before he had gone to Israel and got millions in contributions, which is illegal, and what they did was buy him. They have to have him win because he will do their bidding and invade Iran under false pretenses once again. But do these people get that? Not on your life. What they did was allow the nomination for another war.

    Dee, here's a link to “Shall It Be Again” a 1922 book by John Turner. The problem is you have to copy and paste chapter by chapter into your WP.
    http://www.yamaguchy.com/libr...

    Another good one is “Merchants of Death,” 1934, by H.C. ENGELBRECHT and F.C. HANIGHEN
    http://www.yamaguchy.com/libr...

    If you like them and want copies but don't have the time to do the work, we can talk about how I can send them to you. I have them already.

    They are, bman. A guy spent 3yrs in the Toronto library scanning and rendering old history and economic books into text. Great site. www.yamaguchy.com. Has been up and down twice. I hope it's up to stay this time.

    They should send the same guys that fought in WWII to Iraq. They're exprienced and if they die that's one less pension for the DWP to pay.

    I really depends what for and what capacity. Their mental and physical capacity should be rigorously be tested. As a general rule though, not for frontline combat.

    It would indeed! or movie & TV series like M*A*SH,
    or The Equalizer (this time around with his army buddies instead of solo)
