Zelensky Tells U.S. Lawmakers He Is Willing to Raise Military Conscription Age Above 40: Report
Breitbart ^ | 12/13/2023 | Kurt Zindulka

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has reportedly told lawmakers in the United States that his government is considering raising the military conscription age to over 40 years old in an apparent attempt to allay concerns about Kyiv’s ability to stand up to the much larger population Moscow can draw on to fight the war.

Upon his latest lobbying trip to Washington D.C. to beseech Congress to back President Biden’s request for an additional $61 billion in military aid to Ukraine, Zelensky reportedly told sceptical Senators that his government is considering conscripting men above the age of 40 to increase troop levels along the frontline with Russia, according to Bloomberg.

Throwing bodies at the meat grinder while leaders grift seems so early 20th century. I guess some things never change. It is still disgusting.

They should do that here. Wouldn’t the U.S> Armed Forces appreciate fit, mature, educated men over the age of 40 and even 50 who have life experience and are not preoccupied with sex, gender, race, etc?

Plus, let’s say you’re a bad guy. Do you really want to meet a broke old patriot like me who knows how to shoot, has sailed across oceans, been in plenty of hairy situations, including combat, and really has nothing to lose and no glory ahead of him except... Killing bad guys?

Old women have been blowing up tanks since early on so I don’t really see the problem

Maybe he could bring the Zeeper Keyboard Battalion over. A lot of Russians would probably die laughing.

Why doesn’t he go to the front and fight? He’s not actually running the country anyway.

He is intent on wiping out entire generations of men to “beat” Russia. He will retire a billionaire.

Is Biden going to leave us stranded?
Do we get to keep all our weapons and ammo?
Can we live tax free in Ukraine when we’re done?
What’s the pay scale?

For a while, in recent years the American Army went up to age 42 for enlistments and the Air Force and Space Force are at 39 currently.

For draftees in a country that is being invaded and overrun, it isn’t a problem, but for hiring soldiers permanently it would be an issue because their 20-30 year career would surely end in a disability pension at some point.

No he doesn’t, that was another one of the many fakes coming out of the propaganda factories.

We'll see if he's got any hair on it when he's the last Ukrainian.

This is irrefutable evidence that the Ukraine is losing because the Ukraine Army has already been grabbing grandfathers and women off the streets of the Ukraine.

************************************************************

Wow. Considering that I’ve seen credible reports that the average age of the Ukrainian military (at least at front line units) is now over 40 there must be a huge number of over age 40 volunteers up at the meat grinders.
