"I tried to join after 9/11 and they told me I was too old also."

Me, too. I even had prior service. I'm feeling left out.

Bruce and Mel Gibson are one of the few Hollywood stars that I would go pay to see their movies. The rest can kiss my "olive drab" Jarhead $ass!

Maybe Ashton Kutcher can go in his place...

Bwa-ha-ha!!! As though he could fill Bruce's shoes! Not that we have to worry, we don't hear about Ashton volunteering...

Gotta love Bruce!! Photo courtesy of the JerseyGOP via Google.

Good for Mr. Willis! I've always thought he seemed like an awesome guy, the way he carries himself and that. The fact that he tried to join the military and go to Iraq proves he is definitely a different breed than 99% of hollywood. Now I like the movies I have of his even more, and want more that I don't have. 8) Yea Bruce!!! An example of what actors in hollywood USED to be like 60 years ago. People with a spine, who loved America, and were more concerned with its wellbeing and serving it, than what they can get from their movies. Clark Gable, Jimmy Stewart, Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, and many others, definitely Willis is in the mold of those men, not the modern batch of gutless spineless wussies like baldwin, penn, robbins, and the rest.

If not, there needs to be. He's one of FEW actors I like. And I think he should have been allowed to join up. It would have been good for our country's morale and nice to see Hollywood to pitch another fit ;)

Out of curiosity, how old is 'too old' to enlist?

Can't speak for all, but a National Guard/Reserve recruiter told me that 39 y.o. is the absolute limit. Dunno if that was because of my prior service or not.

The branches vary. For the Army, it's 34 for active duty, 39 for Guard and Reserve. The limits are younger for the other branches, but waivers are sometimes granted.

The only problem with Willis is that around every election time, he goes into political hiding. He did not campaign for GWB.

I have a very big tub,
a LOT of hot water and a very nice bed with really soft sheets.

Really.

Oh, and I may have chicken soup in the kitchen.
