This may be an oldie but it is still funny...

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 ass hole 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 s-of-a-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 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 push ups 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. If nothing else, put us on border patrol....we will have it secured the first night! Share this with your senior friends. It's purposely in big type so they can read it.

that is funny, no matter how heated the debate if you can't laugh at something, someone or some comment on this forum, your either dead or need to change your medication ! :)
 
This is not funny. I forgot my plate number when I signed my van in for a service today. What do they expect. I only picked it up a year ago. :confused:
 
Pal, you need to chill out and come back to the reality. Obviously 60 years of accumulated frustration didn't do you any good. Rad
 
I'm game

Can't say that I'd want to go out and deal with all the bull cr-p that goes along with the tour, I know a little about it being a Vietnam Vet, but I can say, and I've told this to the wife a few times, I sure would like to go and do a little sniper duty. Help me work on my game plus rid the world of a few human cockroaches.

Rad, I think it suppose to be funny, and if you are over 60 and a vet it is.
 
One of my ancestors, William R. Grimes, joined the Third Battalion Florida Cavalry Company E CSA when he was 61 in 1863. He said that he was 51, so they let him join as a substitute for a J. Johnson. Eighteen months later they sent him home after they realized how old he was. He was given a mule to ride home on. "As a loyal rebel, William was overwhelmed thinking that he had served his glorious Confederacy and had a mule to boot." He's buried in the Old Springhill Cemetery in Milton, FL where the Daughters of the Confederacy placed a Civil War marker on his grave' "1810-1888." He was really born in 1802 and died in 1880. Don't always believe grave markers.

I'm over 60 too. In my lifetime the only groups of people in the world who have caused me terror are the US Senate and House of Representatives. In his wildest dreams Osama Bin Laden couldn't have done as much damage to the US as those sties have.

Too old to track them down and eliminate them? I still vote! Unfortunatly so do the masses who suck at the Federal teat and vote for anything which resembles a handout.
