The news about the Army raising its age limit from 40 to 42 is pretty amazing but what does it really mean? To me it seems to imply that so many people want to come back that it is willing to change its rules to accommodate them and at the same time help the Army meet its needs.
The Army has consistently met its enlistment/re-enlistment goals. So far this year they have exceeded their yearly goals and must now go to Congress requesting that it be able to exceed its authorized staffing levels. With all of the cries lately coming out of Congress that the Army is woefully understaffed by the liberal mouthpieces, why aren’t they also telling us that it is they who are the people that have set these artificial limits on the level of staffing? If the Army is so hard-up for people, why only authorize them a certain amount. Is this limit strictly a bean counting function or is it something else?
Are you supporting the troops and our country or are you just looking out for your own pet projects?
