China Raises Draft Age up to 60 Years Old

Of course, China knows that the Biden Administration wants war. They are increasing their age limits for military service to up to 60 years old. Don’t get upset and think you will be too old for the United States and Europe. You can never be too old to die for your local politician. We will see the draft age rise dramatically in the West all because our fearless world leaders, who will never go to war themselves, all need World War III desperately. Just as we can no longer define what a woman actually is, we can no longer discriminate against women for the draft and it is also a matter of being fair to end age discrimination for the draft. It was Franklin Roosevelt who made the remark after going to great lengths to get the US involved in World War II. He said: “War is young men dying and old men talking.”

While governments play with the numbers, during World War I, the Great War, they asserted that the average age of dead soldiers was twenty-seven years old. However, more nineteen-year-olds died than any other age group.

The U.S., Military raised the limit for enlistment in June 2014 precisely when our War Model turned up with the Air Force raising the maximum age for enlistment from 27 to 39 years of age. The enlistment age restrictions for the Army, Navy, and Marines are 35, 34, and 28 respectively. The U.S. Army announced that they were increasing the maximum enlistment age to forty-two years old, and then the second time in six months after previously raising it to 40 years old.

The UK Ministry of Defence raised the enlistment age limit for its Army Reserve in November 2014 to 52 from 43, and for those individuals with specific qualifications or experience the age limit was raised to 45 up to 50. For World War III, combat forces will most likely be drafted up to the age of 40 or perhaps 42. After all, they claim that 40 is the new 20. So start with those pushups. Get used to it. You are expected to die for the Ukrainian Nazis and Taiwan neither of which would actually alter the future of the United States.

And by the way, women you will NOT be discriminated against anymore. They have already been talking about drafting women as well to satisfy Hillary who argued women can do anything a man does – from being president to dying on the battlefield. You better start having kids real fast. But you too will die for Ukrainian Nazis – what an honor.

Apologized elsewhere.
Sorry.

I wrote the wrong name while thinking of the right one.
Old timer’s problem like saying she went to Walgreen instead of to Wal-Mart.

Bidet* wants an excuse to declare martial law.
Big shock when we old vets refuse to disarm

[Vermont Lt]

Hey have to expand their draft because they have had negative population growth for years now. They expand their draft because they don’t have the population.

[Justa]

Rooting for communist armed conquest as usual.

“Old timer’s problem like saying she went to Walgreen instead of to Wal-Mart.”

I know what you mean. I’m in my 70s, and I have done that.

Thanks.

George Burns had some good ones:

I am glad I am not Chinese living in China. Can you imagine 1500 million people pooping every day?

[frank ballenger]

Good one.😃

I think one can legitimately hope and pray for the survival of the American Republic while at the same time being of the belief that the American Empire simply can't collapse soon enough.

[Dr. Sivana]

that’s quite ok. It turns out BOTH Crosbys had roles in Adam-12

[Captain Walker]

What I want to know is why is the west so desperate for WWIII?

Because if Putin comes through on his plans to create a currency tied to the gold standard, then the American Empire (as well as its push for all things LBTQWERTY) collapses.

Liberalism needs money, and if the US loses that, then our international LGBTQWERTYism is lost as well.

[ansel12]

We have an empire, and you want the Communists to bring us down by overcoming us internationally?

That is worse than merely nutty, how do you think Red China would improve the world by taking us down and becoming the world’s lone superpower?

[Mean Daddy]

My grandfather was in his mid to late 30’s with three kids and a wife when he was drafted to a non-combat position in the Philippines in WWII.

There used to be a custom at Free Republic, that those posting links to stories on Debka would add (Debka) to the title, so that the 99% of Freepers who had learned to discount everything Debka published, could tell from the title that the post linked to Debka, and not waste their time clicking on it.

It would be appreciated if you adopted that practice when posting links to Armstrong Economics.

[Manuel OKelley]

Ditto

And as far as I’m concerned anyone trying to enforce conscription should need replacement too

[Manuel OKelley]

Spoke with an acquaintance of mine that was a former intelligence appointee (required confirmation position) who is near certain that China will be tits up and either in major expansionist war to distract populace or major civil war by end of summer

[Manuel OKelley]

As it should be

[Manuel OKelley]

Sounds a bit extreme but I’m not going to argue that you are wrong

[Captain Walker]

That is worse than merely nutty, how do you think Red China would improve the world by taking us down and becoming the world’s lone superpower?

China is already here.

If the US was speaking softly and carrying a big stick, then an argument could be made that the Empire should prevail.

But we're not doing that. We've been waging war on weaker nations, promoting hedonism, and sticking our beak where it doesn't belong; it's clear that our government needs an opposing force to keep it in check.
