Borrowed this from another board. Thought everyone would enjoy. Thanks Wrightturn.

New Direction for the war on terrorists.

>> Send Prior 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 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 ******* 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-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 like 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. I can hear the Drill Sgt. now, "Get down and give me ... er
>> .. one."Actually, the running part is kind of a waste of energy. 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 cowards who attacked us
>> on September 11. The last thing an enemy would want to see right now
>> is a couple of million pissed off old farts with attitudes and
>> automatic weapons who know that their best years are already behind
>> them.
>>
>> If nothing else, put us on the border and we will have it secured the
>> first night.
>>
>> Share this with your senior friends.
>>
>> It's purposely in big type so you can read it. __________________

The trouble is,when man is 35 yrs old he is in his prime and still thinks about sex most of the time.Maybe change that to 45 yrs old.

 

Where do I sign up. I 'forgot' where the recruiting station is at.
And put me in with nomad billy, anybody who feels that way, can share a foxhole with me, anytime.

 

great idea. there are an extremely large amount of Vietnam veterans serving in SWA.

 

Damn, too young again! Hafta get a fake ID.......the missus won't mind...she'd be glad to see me get out of the house for a while!

 

PM me, I can get you all signed up, issue you your own set of ACUs, boots, M-4 riffle, get you trained up and have you out on a convoy in no time. I'll even set you up with a new set of Willey X gogles which are great for riding your scoots

I am still out here in the big sand box with my task force activly engaged. It's never to late to serve!

CSM Lopez

 

G. Bush is too old to track down terrorists. I never thought I'd misson Nixon!
