This is a forward I got this morning, that was too funny not to pass along.
Drafting Guys over 60----this is funny & obviously written by a Former Soldier-
New Direction for any war: Send Service Vets over 60!
I am over 60 and the Armed Forces thinks I'm too old to track down terrorists. You can't be older than 42 to join the military. They've got the whole thing ass-backwards. Instead of sending 18-year olds off to fight, they ought to take us old guys. You shouldn't be able to join a military unit until you're at least 35.
For starters: Researchers say 18-year-olds think about sex every 10 seconds. Old guys only think about sex a couple of times a day, leaving us more than 28,000 additional seconds per day to concentrate on the enemy.
Young guys haven't lived long enough to be cranky, and a cranky soldier is a dangerous soldier. 'My back hurts! I can't sleep, I'm tired and hungry' We are impatient and maybe letting us kill some ahole that desperately deserves it will make us feel better and shut us up for a while.
An 18-year-old doesn't even like to get up before 10 a.m. Old guys always get up early to pee so what the hell. Besides, like I said, 'I'm tired and can't sleep and since I'm already up, I may as well be up killing some fanatical SOB....
If captured we couldn't spill the beans because we'd forget where we put them. In fact, name, rank, and serial number would be a real stretch.
Boot camp would be easier for old guys. We're used to getting screamed and yelled at and we're used to soft food. We've also developed an appreciation for guns. We've been using them for years as an excuse to get out of the house, away from the screaming and yelling.
They could lighten up on the obstacle course however. I've been in combat and didn't see a single 20-foot wall with rope hanging over the side, nor did I ever do any pushups after completing basic training.
Actually, the running part is kind of a waste of energy, too. I've never seen anyone outrun a bullet.
An 18-year-old has the whole world ahead of him. He's still learning to shave, to start up a conversation with a pretty girl. He still hasn't figured out that a baseball cap has a brim to shade his eyes, not the back of his head.
These are all great reasons to keep our kids at home to learn a little more about life before sending them off into harm's way.
Let us old guys track down those dirty rotten coward terrorists. The last thing an enemy would want to see is a couple of million pissed off old farts with attitudes and automatic weapons who know that their best years are already behind them.
***How about recruiting Women over 50 ....with PMS !!! You think Men have attitudes !!!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh my Lord!!! If nothing else, put them on border patrol....we will have it secured the first night!

Darkness. Overcast on a cloudy night, the Sonoran desert in southern Arizona is dead quiet. A group of five illegal immigrants trudge slowly along, keeping an eye out for La Migra and keeping as quiet as possible.
Suddenly, not twenty feet in front of them, massive spotlights illuminate, blinding the tiny band. Not needing a bullhorn, Mrs. Irene Jenkins begins her speech.
"I'VE BEEN WAITING HERE FOR THREE HOURS FOR YOU DEAD-BEATS!!! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT TIME IT IS?!? JUST WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELVES?!?"
The leader pipes up, terrified. "Senora, lo siento..."
"DON'T YOU 'LO SIENTO' ME!!! IF YOU WERE SORRY YOU'D BE HOME WITH YOUR FAMILIES, NOT SNEAKING ABOUT GOD-KNOWS-WHERE DOING GOD-KNOWS WHAT"
The five men were never heard from again.
=D :laugh:

I think that's Solid Snake from the Metal Gear Solid video games.

Yup, 'old' Snake.

I'll think about it if I get to be the super-duper supreme top general with the most ever stars. I've got a grumpy side. I'm a nice enough guy in my own way, but let me just simplify things a little, okay? Hiroshima and Nagasaki got what they had coming.
That's all the hinting anybody needs. Now, if you don't mind, I've got a nap to take.
