Raise the age limits for enlistment into armed services to age 45.

Created by T.J. on June 24, 2013

As an all-volunteer military, there should not be limits based on age. This is a discrimination. Not all people age the same. Nor do all people completely make up their minds about their life path. For late bloomers, or those trying to get themselves within the physical fitness requirements. The limit should not be an age alone, but ability to perform within a wider range of age. This does not guarantee they will make it past boot camp, but at least people will have a fair chance. But this makes attempts to join the armed services a fair and balanced arena. Anything after that is up to the individual to put forth the effort, and their commanding officer to weed out the ones that wont make it.
