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.
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
As if it wouldn’t be surprising from the Republicans? They HATE us.

Ha! As if any of us would be welcomed anywhere near the presidency, especially after NSPM-7.
Well, theres one group of very fine people he’d welcome:
dont be so sure, they let a child molesting traitor in last time.
