There is some merit to this. I was 52 when I went to Afghanistan. As a C-130 loadmaster with over 5000 hours I could get a C-130 loaded much faster than some kid with a few hundred hours. And when I was done loading, the weight and balance would be within limits. And the user units loved having the Air National Guard show up, because instead of giving them reasons why something couldn't be done, we just told them to back up to the ramp and we'd make it fit.
