Vlad putin says all grandfather's in russia must sign up for the war in Ukraine
[link to www.yahoo.com (secure)]


The Russian army is to accept personnel up to the age of 65 - a law on this has been signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Source: the Russian news outlet TASS



According to the State Duma website, people will now be in the army under a contract until they reach retirement age (which is 60 for women and 65 for men - ed.).

Re: Vlad putin says all grandfather's in russia must sign up for the war in Ukraine
days ago i heard that in the professional army, they'll hire people up to the age of 50

here as all seems, it's just contractual, people who are willing to join and fight for Russia with special benefits

it's not a mobilization, that's why he's doing this, we're still in the stage of VOLUNTARILY being sent in

It’s the Viking way for the old to sacrifice (go to Valhalla) for the current generation.A lot of old men live with regret and this gives them a chance to die with honour.

Yep. They got wrecked by a country 10 times smaller and weaker than them.

The russians took losses comparable to the USA in vietnam, and we were in vietnam for almost a decade.

That's what all the people saying Russia is doing better than the U.S. in Afganistan and Iraq forget to mention.

It may have taken the U.S. a long time to get what it wanted in those countries but it suffered minor casualties in both wars combined over a twenty year period.

The Zio army is superior in every way.

The Vietnamese were better fighters too. Although they didn't have the tank busters. Still, they were far superior at Jungle Warfare.

The only reason the Zio armies are superior is because they have tricked white European and black African to fight their battles. The two master races fighting for the scumbags of earth.

It's nothing personal. Old men just aren't' fit for battle and you know it. There is a reason the majority of frontline infantry is anywhere from 17 to 30 years old.

This move reeks of desperation. Having to recruit what are senior citizens in Russia.

The age of life expectancy there is only around 65 for men.

Peak fitness is 18-19.


That was who they wanted in Nam.


Even at 25, it was hard for me to keep up with the teenie boppers.



There is truth in that.


If they take 65 year olds, they are scooping from the bottom of the barrel.

Sign of desperation actually.

A sniper can perform well into their 80’s , eyesight permitting

I can efficiently carry my gear to my hide, make the shot, and haul ass with gear

Anywho, don’t really give a shit, a war is coming to my country and I will be running and gunning, no doubt about it. I also have no fear of death at my age

That having been said, I'm still gunnin' -- just not runnin'.


I never really liked running, and it's not me.


I'm still a good shot though.



But I do need glasses now. Almost everybody over 40 does.

 Quoting: Mr. Tiger Blood



On the face of it , that seems true

But I’ve never really understood why the young are sent to fight and die- especially now in tech wars

Surely it should really be the older guys and gals -preserving the younger generation who still need to procreate

If we’re being strictly evolutionary about it

We need the young gene pool and admixture - don’t we ?


I know it sounds callous but it doesn’t make sense nowadays

Maybe before when they actually had to fight

But do you need a young guy in a tank ? Or would an old guy ( or gal) not be better
