Raise military age limit to join - age 50, extend retirement age to 70, Allows older Americans to serve and have a job.

Created by D.B. on October 28, 2014

Raise the age limit to join the military up to age 50, and retirement age to age 70. This will allow older Americans to join, and allow prior service members to rejoin. This goes for enlisted and officers. This will allow more people to get a job during these tough times. Older people are more reliable and dependable. Relax the re-enlistment code system and overlook minor problems the veteran may have had while serving, especially if they received an Honorable Discharge but their RE code says they can't rejoin. Allow more waivers.
