The United States army announced last month that it would raise the maximum age at which Americans can enlist from 35 to 42 years to expand its pool of eligible candidates amid recruiting challenges in recent years.
An updated version of US Army Regulation 601–210, dated March 20, outlined the changes, including the elimination of rules requiring anyone with a single conviction for marijuana possession or drug paraphernalia to obtain a waiver to enlist.
The new age limit was announced during the US-Israel war on Iran, towards which young people have expressed widespread opposition.
The updated version of Army Regulation 601–210 officially takes effect on Monday, April 20.
They are going to need bodies for the Iran ground invasion and they need to expand the pool of possible recruits/draftees.
What is the average age of the ICE shitbags?
Overweight and low IQ… oh wait, that want the question.
not enough fodder
More meat for the grinder.
I’m betting this will also increase the age limit for conscription. It’s also the upper end of the Millennials’ age bracket. Millennials and younger are overwhelmingly anti-Republican.
If I were a Republican president, Republicans were historically unpopular with Millennials and younger, I implimented a new war, had a new group that attaches voter registration and social media commentary to individual identity, and I was fearing an upcoming Republican wipe out, I’d probably draft a bunch of millenials and younger who I knew were against me into the war I just started so as to have the enemy’s machine-gun fire kill off my opposition.
bro thats fucking psychotic why would you do that. couldnt you just like, do your job instead
bro thats fucking psychotic why would you do that
As if it wouldn’t be surprising from the Republicans? They HATE us.
look, alls im sayin is, please dont become a republican president.
Ha! As if I’d be welcomed anywhere near the presidency, especially after NPSM-7.
dont be so sure, they let a child molesting traitor in last time.
Good luck to all my fellow tricenarians! At least there’s no draft (yet)
likely someone like karp, thiel, or the bigtech are behind, given how they have been pretty verbose about it.
here I am at 61, as fit as any 59 year old !
Just use the ICE agents for this. They already have all the gear.
ICE is reserved for domestic terrorism. You need professionals over there.
They’ll have to crunch the numbers and see which is more profitable
Wouldn’t be surprised if they resort to eventually “redirecting their resources”
Problem is that most of them would fail qualifications.
This way we get two birds stoned at once!
Don’t feed marihuana to your birds.
That’s just water under the fridge.
And more than enough training to die for their country.
It’s the meaning of life, the universe and everything?
Oh shit I’m in the age bracket again? at least I’m trans I guess 🤷
That just means your disappeared and sent to the gulag when your draft notice comes.
They think endless war is the solution to the question of life, the universe, and everything.
I thought that answer was 42?
42 years of war, seems a bit short for the us.
It’s almost like the younger generations don’t feel keen to join whatever misadventure their nation wants to go on during their service. Especially given the high likelihood that they’ll be involved in supporting/committing fairly unambiguous war crimes and genocide. They’ve also watched generation after generation of veterans get sold down the river… how could they resist.
read an article about the enlistment problems back '24, most are still preparing for college, and they see even some min wage jobs have better pay then the military, and better hours. why have shit hours and low pay and very restrictive requirements, when you can have part time job that pays more. maybe works in rural areas where theres practically no jobs, instead more middle income neighborhoods.
the militaryganda movies did help enlistment somehwat(aka top gun maverick)
[The younger generations] also watched generation after generation of veterans get sold down the river…
General Benjamin Button probably wouldn’t work out, anyway.
They wanted to make sure don jr could serve /s
not enough fools willing to die for the Epstein cause?
It would make sense to reverse the enlistment age so they’d start from the oldest and the lower it.
