[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Good question. I understand why we used to send young men to fight wars - they are the strongest, and fighting was all about strength. Nowadays though there are many other options. [b]I know many people in their late 70s who would be very good for driving tanks[/b], manning trenches etc. Perhaps it is time that we as a nation rethink our cannon fodder. [/quote] I don't know many 70 yos who can drive a Chevy very well, never mind a main battle tank. Our armed forces would either go too fast or too slow, and constantly have to stop for pee breaks. And they'd tailgate a lot. [/quote] You need quick reflexes and on top of that, um, there have been many accidents when the elderly seem to confuse the brake and the accelerator, resulting in serious injury and death to bystanders.[/quote]
