Keep Kids Home, Send Old Guys To Fight Wars!!!! February 22, 2009

A friend of mine from Israel sent me the following post. At age 70 it sure makes sense to me. Enjoy
At 60 the Israeli Armed Forces think that’s too old to track down terrorists. You can’t be older than 42 to join the military. They’ve got the whole thing arse about face.
Instead of sending 18-year olds off to fight, they ought to let us old guys go. 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 every ten minutes, leaving us about sixty times more time to concentrate on the enemy.*
***A cranky soldier is a dangerous soldier** and young guys haven’t lived long enough to be cranky. You want cranky? ‘My back hurts! I can’t sleep, I’m tired and hungry.’
We are impatient and maybe letting us kill some arsehole who
desperately deserves it will make us feel better and shut us up for awhile.*
*An 18-year-old doesn’t even like to get up before 10 a.m. Old guys are always 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 killing some fanatical bastards. *
*If we were captured we wouldn’t be able to spill the beans because we’d have forgotten where we put them. In fact, name, rank and serial number could be quite a brainteaser. *
*Basic camp would be easy for old guys. We’re used to getting screamed and yelled at at home … and we’re used to soft food. *
*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 out-run 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 peak on it to shade his eyes – not the back of his head. *
*These are all great reasons for keeping 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 attitude 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
attitude !!!!!!!!!*
*If nothing else, put us on border patrol. We’ll have it secured the first night.
