I thought everyone might need a smile today ..............


Draft 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 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 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 of old farts with attitudes and automatic weapons who know that their best years are already behind them.




***How about recruiting Women over 50 .....with PMS !!!



You think Men have attitudes !!! Ohhhhhhhhhhhh my God!!!


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

James - I agree with everything you wrote except the above quote! Speak for yourself on that one! :p I swear I believe I think about sex more now than I did at 18! But then, maybe I'm just a dirty old man! Maybe hell - I know I'm a dirty old man and I'm lucky enough to have a wife who is just as perverted as I am! :D Life is good!

No! But does your bus have a cannon, a rocket launcher or machine guns?

If you say yes to any of the above, I want to hang with you.

That email hit home when I got it, since both my sons are in the military. They have all the same complaints, and I have most of the traits it talks about.
PS It would be fun to drive a tank......... James

James,

If you have not seen it you might want to get ahold of a copy of the movie "Tank." It starred James Garner (no relation - he got all the money while all I got was the good looks!:D). It is about an old tanker that restores a WWII Sherman tank to FULL operations. It is a little bit like Walking Tall. I enjoyed it, you might too.
