What the the defense department use as justification for this?
Something
in
a contract/signed agreement?

Didn't catch that. There were the usual references to 9/11 etc.



I wish I remembered where, in the past month, I heard some comedian
rattling
off a list of reasons why it would be a GOOD idea to send old guys
like
us
off to war. Really funny. Some examples I recall:

1) Old guys LIKE waking up at 3:30 AM. Matter of fact, some have no
choice,
if their bladders have anything to say about it.

2) Old guys tend to like guns more than young guys, and have sometimes
created intellectual frameworks which justify shooting neighbors
because
they don't like the way they park their cars. With that kind of
thinking,
a
real enemy is in grave danger.

3) Old guys don't need a hangover or any other reason to wake up
grumpy
and
irritable. Look out, enemy.

4) Old guys may actually LIKE soft food that requires no knife.

5) Old guys tend to know trouble when they see it, which should result
in
the military having less problems with venereal disease or pregnancy
in
its
ranks.

6) Old guys have probably been married for many years, so they know
the
REAL
meaning of fear.

7) Old guys know how to motivate themselves when faced with
distasteful
chores. Finish the chore (aw crap...not again...killing a few enemy
soldiers), get back to the pleasure (newspaper, television, golf).

Sounds good to me - where do I sign up?

I'll sign up immediately. I'll pretend the insurgents are dogs. ROFL!!!
Hear
that, Dave, you insipid little crank???

LOL!!!

I went to the range last night and FINALLY, after hours of tweaking, got the
scope lined up REALLY nice on the Ruger 10/22. :-) I'm ready.
