Quote:Drafting Guys Over 60
Drafting Guys Over 60.
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 55.
For starters, researchers say 18-year-olds think about sex every 10 seconds. Old guys only think about sex a couple of times a month, leaving us more than 280,000 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 bad-tempered and impatient, and maybe letting us kill some asshole 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 am. 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-bitch.
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 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 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 terrorists. The last thing an enemy would want to see is a couple million pissed off old farts with bad 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 of your senior friends...it's in big type so they can read it.

I'm ready. Where's the party?
Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’

I agree with everything he said.
Since I never resigned my commission, I guess they can call me back anytime they choose.

Well, I know one thing for sure... drop me in an area where there are bad folks and it'll be over in a few minutes. I don't fight anymore. I don't have the energy. I have to get things over with quick!
They make bazookas for a reason... get it over with quick.

You remind me of me,,, except, I went through Menopause 20 years ago.
My best friend is my Barrett 50 cal. desert edition and my husband the same model.
Then we have our 10 handguns and 7 more rifles from a 22 up to 30.06
I Love America, I could never have own these in China.

Twins?!! What kind of glass? My leggiest rifle is a 110-BA in .338LM. I mounted an IOR Valdata 4-28, and while that's enough for me, a 50 can easily hit 30% further out ... and with authority!!
What's that cost to operate (if you don't mind me asking). 11 dollars a shot? Or more?

Lol! I'm 41 so I guess I could still join. I'd rather be drafted than see my 18 year old drafted. But rest easy old pal, at the rate this country is moving, we might be on the front lines of a domestic war, fighting domestic terrorists before you know it.

About $3.50 a round or $185. for a box of 50 rounds, my husband said. But we save our brass and my girlfriend husband has a machine to make us more rounds, we have approximately 1500 right now with 580 brass to be refurbished. My husband likes the 660 grain reloads.
Each Barrett 82A1 50 BMG with the 29" Fluted Barrel cost about $4000. with my husbands FLO discount.
We are saving up right now for two, Colt M4 Commando Full Auto with the 11.5 inch barrel.
They are about $1,100. each, but worth it, they will come with two each 30 round magazines for 5.56 ball.
