Vlad, I completely agree.
65 year-old men are not suitable to send to war.  It's a physical thing, though in many cases mental too.

From what I read, many of our young men can't be bothered to work for a living, and would prefer to receive handouts, in may cases, for protesting with Palestine flags and worse, damaging works of art, etc.

Every one of them should be called up and sent to army camps for training.  The old traditional methods to persuade them to comply would work just as well today as they did in the old days.
That would not only be more suitable than those physically unable to fight, but would also ensure that they are of use to the country rather than behaving in an infantile manner and living on handouts.

The old military training definitely worked; it will work again.

Mentioned elsewhere. I'll just copy in my post from that thread...

At 65 many could fill positions in the rear but front line duty is for the young. They are the ones with bodies and reactions that can take the strain and stupid enough to believe "it won't happen to me". I imagine most were immortal at 18.

That's because you try to guess words rather than eliminate letters first. My usual start words revealed all 5 letters and the solution is the only way that those letters would fit together to make something that looked like a viable word. Without it being a common word and only having some of the letters with others ruled out it would be completely impossible to actually solve by any normal means.

In outlook, though thankfully not yet In methodology, I see little difference between Trump and Putin
