DRAFTING 60 YEAR OLDS!

This was sent to me by a friend of mine.


Drafting Guys over 60----this is funny & obviously 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 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 --deleted-- 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 heck. 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-gun.


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 !!! Ohhhhhhhhhhhh my !!!!!!!!!!!If nothing else, put them on border patrol.... They will have it secured the first night!

This is an old story thats been retold many times on TN, and yet is quite humorous...

The only reason why the Obama administration wouldn't use it is because its not socialistic, and yet it's like Exlax...it works.

 

[Libralabsoldier]

Why let the socialistic government send you? Pay for your own plane ticket, supply your own weapons, and have fun? Trust me, I saw some of the 42 year old privates (Fort Sill is a basic training base) and it was pathetic. The criminals, high school drop outs and old guys were just the dregs that the last administration had to dredge up out of the gutter to keep numbers up.

That's what you get when the draft is done away with and the last administration is not the one that gave up the draft. I believe that was a Demosocialist administration at the end of the Vietnam War.

Oh, you mean Gerald Ford? Yes, the Republican Gerald Ford who was President at the end of the Vietnam conflict? BTW, most of the free world is a "socialist" country, with their universal health care, intelligent schoolkids and not starting endless, hopeless wars again and again, what a bunch of cowards, huh?

 

[Shortstack]

Gerald Ford was a 2-faced RINO---more Demoncrap than a Republican. These days the Republicans aren't too much better than the Demons and we have to replace them with true conservatives.

As far as the Draft goes; it allows the military to cull the poorer volunteers because they can fill their needs with 2-year draftees if needed. And as a matter of historical fact, many draftees turned out to be top quality soldiers who made the military their career.

You claim that the "rest of the world is socialist"................guess that's the reason so many people try like Hell to get into the U.S. Some even risking their lives to get here. Yep, you socialist S.O.B.s sure have it good, HUH?

Riiiiiiiiight...well, uhhhh, since I'm not so familiar with Timor, other than what I hear on BBC (typhoons, civil wars, coups, etc.), I did look into it a bit more. On wikipedia, here's some interesting facts:
Education

About half the adult population are illiterate. [51] Illiteracy is higher among women. [52] Illiteracy was at 90 % at the end of Portuguese rule[citation needed]. In 2006, 10-30 % of primary-school age children did not attend school. [53] The country has the National University of East Timor. Indonesian plays a considerable role within education[citation needed].
Health

Life expectancy at birth was at 60.7 in 2007. [54] The Fertility rate is at six births per woman. [55] Healthy life expectancy at birth was at 55 years in 2007. [56] Government expenditure on health was at US$ 150 (PPP) per person in 2006. [57] Many people in East Timor lack safe drinking water. [58]

Now, are those the people who are trying to come to America? Maybe....

Sorry things didn't work out with Ford, I know you might have wanted Vietnam to continue for another 25 years or so, but, well, Democrats have a way of ending wars, even some Republicans such as him. And I never said the rest of the free world was socialist, what I said was most of the free world, but, hey, no problem if you saw differently, I forgive. Cheers, CDT

Why are you so interested in Timor??

Anyway, the U.S. could have easily won the Vietnam War except for Lyndon Basta-- Johnson and Robert Strange McNamara. THEY are the reason we lost the war. Everytime we'd bomb the north to their knees and they'd be on the verge of coming to the peace table, LBJ would call a bombing halt and allow the north to rebuild even larger defense systems. Johnson and McNamara are directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds, if not thousands, of U.S. troops and aircrew members. Most especially the aircrew members who were forced to fly and fight under the most asinine R.O.Es in the history of the world. Now, Obamao has saddled our troops in the Middle East with even MORE asinine R.O.Es for THEIR situations.

Another funny solution I read in an e-mail.

Southern boys/men will be dropped off into Iraq and have been given only the following facts about terrorists :

1. The season opened today.
2. There is no limit.
3. They taste just like chicken.
4. They don't like beer, pickups, country music or Jesus.
5. They are directly responsible for the death of Dale Earnhardt.

The Pentagon expects the problem in Iraq to be over by Friday.

 

[Shortstack]

I believe the R.O.E. for both Iraq and Afghanistan should be, what I call, the Rule of -Ates.

---Locate
---Isolate
---Eliminiate

Short, simple, and to the point. These 3 lines written on a single sheet of paper are the only R.O.E. that will truly get the job done and the war won. Even us forgetful 60 year olds could remember these guidelines.......and be happy to comply.

Sounds a bit like, from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stab-in-the-back_legend:
The Stab-in-the-Back Legend (German: About this sound Dolchstoßlegende (help·info), literally "Dagger stab legend") was a social theory popular in Germany in the period after World War I and before World War II, which attributed Germany's losing the war not to its inability to continue fighting, but to the public's failure to respond to its "patriotic calling" and the intentional sabotaging of the war effort, particularly by Jews, Socialists and Bolsheviks. The legend echoes the epic poem Nibelungenlied in which the dragon-slaying hero Siegfried is stabbed in the back by Hagen von Tronje.

Der Dolchstoß is cited as an important factor in Adolf Hitler's later rise to power, as the Nazi Party grew its original political base largely from embittered World War I veterans, and those who were sympathetic to the Dolchstoß interpretation of Germany's then-recent history. Hence in Der Dolchstoß is an encapsulation of most of what would become Nazi Germany's ideology regarding the persecution and murder of Jews, Communists, Socialists, intellectuals, and German dissidents.

Sure shortstack, lets just go in and kill everyone. That will solve all the problems, wont it.

If you cannot understand what I wrote, then you have no business in the military. You jump to conclusions without giving good evaluation of presented information. There is NOTHING in what I wrote meaning, "kill everybody". You are not a professional military man. You are a toy soldier.
