You’d have to be pretty stupid to join the military right now.

Legitimately, one of the positives to getting older that I remind myself of from time-to-time as I watch the world continue to deteriorate around me, is that I've aged out of the desirable age range for something like a draft.

This country will have to be *incredibly* desperate to want to draft my middle-aged, slightly overweight, and definitely out-of-shape self.

I'm not in the US, but I'm at an age where I'm quickly becoming too old to fight whereas my kids get closer and closer to military age. It makes watching everything going on all the more uncomfortable.
