The Draft is coming, is my prediction. When?
Depends on which party wins the presidency in 2024.
If Biden or Kamala are there, probably before the end of 2025. They will pretend to conduct a “listening tour” after the inauguration, but it will be fait a compli.
For both men and women this time.

The people they are hiring, from females to the old of both sexes, and of course the sex oddballs, all of these are people who need and want, medical care, and they will drain the pension system with their injuries and problems.
Women injure easily doing military jobs and in training, and hiring people to start their 20 year career at age 42 for the military life is to be hiring people just entering the time when their bodies are already starting to break down.
The modern military personnel are going to drain the military budgets with nonfighting costs.

I’m reminded of the scene in “Yankee Doodle Dandy” where Cohan tries to join the army to fight in WW1, is told he’s too old, and then gives a dance set to prove he’s in better shape than the younger recruits.

Keep electing Democrats that want all straight white men out of the military and you may as well raise the age to 100.

They didn’t mention getting back those discharged for not getting the COVID shot.

“Updating” — the author couldn’t have said “Letting fatties in”?

“...expects to add about 50 more recruits per year
after lifting its maximum age limit
for initial accession from 39 years old to 42...”
-
Raising the limit 3 years gains 50 recruits per year?
Are they that desperate?

42 years? When I enlisted in 1981 I was 28, which was the oldest allowable at that time. Best decision I ever made. I had a job for 6 years USAF, and parlayed that into 24 more years in a related career with a military contractor.
In 30 years I got to see a lot of USA and parts of Asia and Europe, all on Uncle Sam’s tab........and I got to retire at 60.

42 ? After 20 years, that used to be retirement age.
The military is for young people, not old. It can be a tough life for oldsters. You don't want geriatrics doing what needs to be done. Take it from "experience".

What a difference half a century makes.
When I enlisted in the Army in '74 the Air Force recruiters acted like they were doing you a favor by deigning to acknowledge that you were even in their office.
I think they had a several month waiting list to even apply.

I retired from Navy at 41.
