If I could go back to my Army ASA MOS, without going thru Basic again, I’m in.

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...

Total BS

Laughed all the way through.

Never pick a fight with an old man. He will just kill you and leave you in the ditch.

Sort of like a Honey Badger, doesn’t care.

What happens when you’re 65 y/o, hiding from the enemy, and you keep needing to take a whiz after sunset?
Will such men be issued government approved collection bags?
Then, what happens to all those bags?
Not too friendly to the environment, if you know what I mean!

I’d be glad to fight. I have lived long enough and what could be better than dying in battle?

It's true. I think about sex in the morning. Then I take a nap and stop thinking about it. And when I wake up again, I think about sex for the second time that day - until bed time.

I’m 70. I want a colonel commission so I can wear the white suit. I plan on sitting on the front porch like Jed Clampett Shooting flies off the wall and any scumbag commies/muzzies that come to take me out.

It would be a good way to get back into form. Start with 1 pushup a day, then move up. In basic training there is barely enough time for a full night’s sleep, so getting up 2-3 times a night for the bathroom won’t seem as bad.

We don’t think of sex all the time. Creaky bones and arthritis are foremost on our minds, along with the geographical coordinates, compass heading, and distance within 2 feet of the nearest latrine and how long it takes to get there.

As for the yelling and screaming, it can’t be anywhere near as bad as the missus. 20 years of that has deadened the hearing anyway, so let the seargent yell and scream.

Bull....I’m 62....I think about sex whenever visually stimulated by female beauty and often simply from organic memory....100s of times a day
