They can change enlistment age ranges that require little to no ID requirement but they demand very strict ID requirements for voting. They are telling us how they think of us as meat crayons.

Jesus fucking christ. Most people who are 42 actually look and act like it. This won't end well.

For instance I'm 29 and I do not have the body of a soldier. Never have, probably never will.

Exploiting poor millennials aka millennials.

not enough fools willing to die for the Epstein cause?

Just use the ICE agents for this. They already have all the gear.

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.

here I am at 61, as fit as any 59 year old !

War profiteering. Follow the money

not enough fodder

They are going to need bodies for the Iran ground invasion and they need to expand the pool of possible recruits/draftees.

Jesus fuck, I wonder if the reenlistment age went up too? Apparently now I could enlist for a first time, even if I hadn't before. I can't imagine doing that shit at my age.

Oh shit I'm in the age bracket again? at least I'm trans I guess 🤷

They think endless war is the solution to the question of life, the universe, and everything.

What is the average age of the ICE shitbags?

Good luck to all my fellow tricenarians! At least there's no draft (yet)

Somewhat relieved and disappointed I missed the cut. At my age, at this moment, I would consider it a sign from God if I got drafted. Hegseth and I worship different Gods I should add.

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.

They wanted to make sure don jr could serve /s

It would make sense to reverse the enlistment age so they'd start from the oldest and the lower it.
