Isn't 35 also too old for the draft?
They increased the max to 42
https://www.goarmy.com/how-to-join/requirements
This is not a draft. Which is like 18-26ish typically.
BUT, that doesn’t mean the draft is fixed at those ages. BUT, I doubt they would ever need to draft up to 42 based on the US population and the willingness of psychos to want to a) kill people or b) get paid to kill people via promises of a better life later as a veteran (Baby killer)
There's the ones who like to shoot things, but don't forget the c) it's either join the military for pay or live in poverty or worse.
They need a draft once all those Action Hero wannabes get swatted down by Iranian drones and the Canadian troops start rolling in to annex the southern province.
Who knew Fallout would be right about the annexation but wrong about which way it went?
Haha annex. Love it.
There’s a good line from the TV show, I don’t think it was used in the games. It’s in reference to a character that has to travel from Canada to the USA, and someone tells them:
“don’t think of them as humans, think of them as Americans”
This website says it goes up to 45

Well awesome for me I reckon, I'll be 44 this Wednesday. 👍
You're never too old to soak up an FPV drone
Join the navy so that a single $300 drone can destroy a $50B Trump class battleship
Give the war 10 years and it'll be a $350 Trillion Trump Class America Drone, and be some janky ass quad copter that burns coal
Well maybe we are getting steampunk after all.....
Draft age gonna change in any real war.
Yeah, they will forcibly recruit anyone they want if their hold on power is seriously threatened
Most of war is getting things fixed or moving to the front line fighting. For every battalion fighting there is another fixing cars, doing laundry, cooking, or getting the paperwork in order for all of those. Doctors are just as important to an army as soldiers. None of those jobs is too much for a 35 year old getting 4 years of service in.
Ageist nonsense.
They used to contact out most of that stuff for us Marines
35 is the new 27
Russia entered the chat
Good thing I'm 35 in a few months.
Except they just changed the enlistment (and by proxy draft) age to 42.
You and i my friend
35 is too young imo, or should be the minimum age
Nah we need the military as an option for poor 18yos with no job or education prospects after highschool. Which, despite the declining birthright, is still somehow a growing demographic.
Yeah, it should be, but 18-24 y/o's are much easier to indoctrinate and radicalize, as well as far more reckless in their tolerance for risky activities.
