“How many guys over 60 would be willing to storm Omaha beach or sands of Iwo Jima. Not many.”

That’s because many 60 and over have gained wisdom throughout the years and would blast those fortifications to smithereens from a distance then go in and mop up. Depends not necessary.

I’ve been a proponent of this since forever...

Just not as eloquently stated...

If they are going to implement it, better hurry up... At (almost) 87, I’ve probably only got 15-20 years of availability left to return to Parris Island for re-training...

Of course I know it has changed since 1951... But I can learn to wear women’s panties and get rainbow tattoos...
In 51 we were only trained to both adapt and kill...
