I am 73, exMarine, and just as tough as I have always been. In fact more so than before.
I think getting old has nothing to do with it......its what you were like before you got old.
No disrespect for the Pope but I doubt he was very strong before he got old.
I agree, he needs to find a nice soft couch and let the rest of the world go by or, maybe work on the problems he has with his church.
Besides, whats the alternative, you either get old or you die....I'll take getting old.

"I am 73, exMarine, and just as tough as I have always been......."

I am in complete agreement with you.

I'm 63, and though not as tough as I used to be, I still have the same values that I was brought up with. IE: Family, God, and Country.

The United States of America first and foremost.

To hell with these "one worlders"!

My friend I am a "Former MARINE" and I agree with you. However you young fellows (only 73) do not have all of the smarts of us ("older" 79)former MARINES. While I think that the Pope is fine, he should tend to his flock and not to the world's military problems. I trust our President to be the leader of the free world as far as security is concerned not some "World police" department. Nice to see an "aged" former MARINE here also.

You have a nice day, and pull for USC to win the Rose Bowl.

Semper Fi and God Bless to you and yours. Tommie

In fact before the Pope was shot he was quite strong.
