Thank you, Alia. :-)
...reminds me of something in an exchange between me and that younger buddy of mine. I joked that he was so hairless way back when we went through initial, that he'll probably live to be 125.
He said, "Hey, don't wish that on me, old man."

Your post brings me to another point I thought of making earlier: Healthcare. Medical science, and all that. Given the advances in medicine, all humans (not killing themselves this way or that) are living longer. Much longer, and more healthy than WWII vets. I know the cut-off for active duty used to be 45 I seem to recall.. So, I do not quite understand the "alarm" of older men, in this article.
.. and one more: Don't we have highschool and college male athletes dying while playing sports -- from heart attacks and such? Young males in their prime of health -- just simply dropping?
