They are like the rifles behind every blade of grass....

I fired expert with the M-16A2 at age 61 just before I retired (warrant officer). Just got my CCW. Guess I can still shoot a rifle.

Sergeant York tried to re-enlist after Pearl Harbor but was too old for combat. Instead, he was commissioned a major in the army signal corps & traveled the country supporting the war effort.
