w00t!

Bwa-ha-ha-ha (now, how about those Yellow Elephants)?

The Defense Department quietly asked Congress on Monday to raise the maximum age for military recruits to 42 for all branches of the service.
How long 'til 45 and/or they start recalling recent retirees with the required skill sets on a non-optional basis?

I'm 46 and now I'm wondering just how much older I'm going to get before I'll be eligible to enlist.

Kinda reminds me of the Volkstrum marching off to defend Berlin in '45.

I think "off yer dead ass an' on yer dyin' feet" will take on a whole different meaning at my age (60) than when I was 19!
