Again we agree Paul. 60 is too young to retire now a days. Times have
changed. Did you see the 102 year old woman that sank a hole in one
this week?

Well, the army says it doesn't know how many are serving in Iraq, but
they do know that there are 20,000 Vietnam-era vets still in uniform.
Buried in the story was the fact that the mandatory retirement age is
60. I guess I could be accused of a small amount of hyperbole given
that The Decider will be 62 when he leaves office.

THAT was an interesting read Wayne ! Thanks.
But not sure it supports the contention that they are a bunch of old guys
in
Iraq - they mention "...there might be only a few dozen." :-)

Here's an article about Vietnam (!) vets currently serving in Iraq. You
apparently have missed the graying of the military.
