Army raises enlistment age to 42, removes waiver for marijuana possession

I mean they have a larger budget than the Marine’s… What could go wrong?
Literally nothing. That’s why I suggested it haha.
Hear me out, we could just send them over and leave them there with no weapons and no ports... de-port them, if you will.
If the Wehrmacht is lacking we should send in the SS
Do you not listen to yourself or? Look up Volkssturm to see whats coming
Okay? Soooooo don’t send ICE?
Yeeees stop murdering altogether
no more war but we can send ice to your region to live permanently. you can be nice to them while they terrorize and kill your people.
While a great sentiment, it’s unbelievably unrealistic. There will always be things people will die for. Likewise, there will always be things people will kill for.
You literally fantasized about killing Russians lmao
Do you just forget you say these things or are you a bot
took less than that. I understood its the idea of signing a piece of paper saying you will kill who you are told to kill going forward.
Are there lots of Russian people in iran?
we should stomp that small part of you until the big part of you dies
Aren’t you saying you want to kill other people while showing off your drone skills?
It seems like your intrusive thoughts are getting taken very seriously here.
What murderer was lemmy simping for?
Hmmmm it's almost like there's a difference between invading and terrorizing another country vs killing one of the richest most immoral people who have blood in their hands
Raised from 35 to 42, which is a big jump. At 35, the physical downward spiral is just beginning. At 42, it is typically well underway, especially in the U.S., where obesity runs rampant. They must be anticipating a slog similar to that when Russia invaded Ukraine.
Not just in Iran, Lindsey Graham seems to think we're also gonna invade Cuba, probably parts of Latin America, and who knows, maybe Canada or Mexico to top it off. Multi-front wars aren't a bad idea right? We have the logistics to fight two separate long-term wars, so what's a third or a fifth?
You forgot Greenland.
At 35, the physical downward spiral is just beginning
I just woke up, don't need to be attacked like this lol
Below 45
I.E. eligible for the draft until your 45th birthday.
EDIT: The special skills draft for health care professionals is up to 54.
I'll die over here first long before I go overseas.
Aged meat for the grinder.
TIL I could still join the army if I were so inclined.
TIL I guess I’m becoming a junkie.
Poppyseed bagel? Bah humbug!
Try some central/south European and even Turkish deserts. To make a batch you usually start with at leas a pound of poppy seeds!
Some use more poopy than flour. I
miss those sweets!
Never worked a job before? Sounds like every manager I've ever had
there is a reason the large majority of a military is generally low 20's. Good luck with squads of thirty somethings.
They really shouldn't want disgruntled millennials. I would be a truly catastrophic draftee, and not because I'd be incompetent.
Literally and metaphorically
I think I'm a competent person, but I definitely wouldn't be a competent soldier.
So you need a harder drug to get kicked out
I would say blow is pretty easily tested for, and gets out of the system fast.
Still not gonna take my bipolar ass in a draft
Removing the restrictions seems 10x what raising the age is!
Lmaoooooo that's crazy
Good luck.
Lmaoooooo that's crazy
Good luck.
I'm 40. I haven't found full time work in a year. I might have to join. I don't want to lose my house. Nobody will miss me if I die overseas.
I don't want to hurt anyone. I'm hungry and I may be homeless soon. What's the point of being moral if nobody will help me when I'm at rock bottom?
People die on the streets everyday in America. It’s a brutal death and your mental health deteriorates fast. Our country is cruel. If you don’t understand that you come from privilege
That totally justifies you coming to rape and pillage the periphery. (Sarcastic)
Death to amerikkka.
I’m hungry and I may be homeless soon.
So you're okay with inflicting that same suffering and much worse on other people in countries already with a much lower quality of life than you to escape that fate yourself?
I've been applying to entry level jobs for months. I was a frontend developer and designer with ten years experience. I now have a PMP, PMI-ACP, and PSM I certifications. I have a resume with a high ATS score. I've only been met with silence from jobs. The only work I've found is working for a grocery store part time. It's not covering my bills.
You wouldn't consider it without your media-induced sense of invulnerability. Nobody actually wants to die from shrapnel, or get a TBI. That's the reality of missile and drone warfare. You're not kicking down families' doors in Baghdad, Kyle. You either collect debtbux or perish. If you were serious, you wouldn't be hoping the AoR takes care of it for you. Stop being melodramatic when other people's lives are at stake. It's a genocide, not a "dangerous job". Solipsistic nonsense
Did the same thing but I was 25. Now that Im in my forties I couldnt possibly have done the training that was asked of me. I was in Basic with a guy that was 40ish, he only kept up cause he was in phenomenal shape. Just know Ill miss you MisterNeon, good luck.
I'm not in shape. I don't think I could survive basic training. I'm running out of options.
I'm feeling really old. It's hard to keep trying and failing at my age. There are no jobs and I don't have anyone to lean on for financial support.
At least you get a chance to frag officers
I will miss you, buddy
go to feed...
go to feed...
If they’re that hard up for soldiers I vote we send ICE over to do the fighting for us.
