Not particularly. Maybe if it had a public service alternative.

I am getting too old for the army anyway. I am 39 now. Next year I am 40. The only thing I will be old enough for is the regular Army and enlistment is only until I hit age 43 (because we are desperate as hell, not too long ago the cutoff age was only, uh, 35).

We've never drafted anyone over 45. That was World War II. We did register up to age 65.

The last thing the Army wants is an old man with an education.   They want young kids who do what they are told and don't think or ask questions.  Besides I still have health problems. Sleep apnea, medication for type II diabetes, medication for depression.

1. They don't want someone snoring the rest of the regiment awake
2. Bifocals? I don't think so.
3. Sugar sluggishness-- not in the middle of a firefight
4. That guy with depression, uh, you partner with him, no, you partner with him, no, you partner with him he's gonna get me killed....
