For Mature Men!

 I'm a man of peace, and don't much find anything funny about war----this is one exception.
Peace out

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
                    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 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'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!
