An over 75 army wouldn't displease me.  What I'd like even more would be armed services headed by the people who are responsible for the wars -- in the front lines!  None of the behind the lines crap.  Or maybe there should be a requirement that the leaders of countries have to settle disputes by duking it out with each other.  No seconds allowed.

Young men are the fittest and strongest. It's unfair when their lives are..
... cut short, though. More tragic than if all the soldiers were over 75. We should have an over-75s only war. Then young lives wouldn't be cut short. What d'you think?

Thanks afzal50, SoloVale,
This was based more on observation than opinion, though I also state it as a general opinion.  Thank you both for your input.

True ,good post
Still don't think we would be in very good shape the other way around.

It's difficult to disagree with your opinion.
