Another Reason To Increase The Retirement Age

Eleven women, all grandmothers, attempted to enlist at the Army Recruiting Center near the University of Minnesota.The senile old biddies said they wanted to replace young soldiers serving in Iraq. "It's a bloody war, it's an immoral war, it's an evil war," Mary Lou Ott said. "We want it to come to a stop, and we have to find creative ways to do that." A recruiter told the women the Army would not accept people older than 35. Police were called after the women sat down in protest. "We decided that by allowing them to actually fill out the actual paperwork, that that would speed along the process," Army Capt. Valent Bernat said. "We allowed them to fill out the application, and we will submit that up, which I expect will be rejected for the fact that they don't meet our requirement," he said.
