Seems that a lot of retired soldiers carry expertise that could be well used to free up younger soldiers during stressful times.

BINGO!!! Precisely.

Local commanders of State National Guard, military reserves, and sheriff's departments ought to carry rosters of qualified senior volunteers with usable MOSs in case of national emergencies (of the type our global adversaries nay have in mind for us).

Age waiver at the commander's discretion and could include periodic continuing education/orientation. Associated costs could be used to reduce any taxes owed on additional income.

EXACTLY RIGHT! All that waste of experience and potential is totally unreasonable.
