Right. I bet. A lot.

Today's THV KTHV Little Rock News Article:
Lt. Colonel Less Collins says over the last two years, there have been two [Army recruiting] age changes. They've gone from 38 to 40 and then from 40 to 42.

Collins says, “Mostly that's been because we've had a lot of folks out there that had wanted to serve their country, but were ineligible because of their age.”
Dude, that just makes my bones hurt to think about. Twenty is one thing. forty is a whole something else. Forty is the time to start thinking about getting out, not getting in.

Of course this is what armies do near the end of wars gone bad, send the old guys to the front. And then the children.
