The U.S. Army, aiming to make its recruiting goals amid the Iraq war, raised its maximum enlistment age by another two years Wednesday.
People can now volunteer to serve in the active-duty Army or the part-time Army Reserve and National Guard up to their 42nd birthday, officials said.
It marked the second time this year the Army has boosted the maximum age for new volunteers, raising the ceiling from age 35 to 40 in January.
Will the Repuglicons sign up in record numbers now?

The armed forces are mostly republicans. (85% from the latest polls)
.05% of the US population has a child at "war" now. Yet 2.5% of REPUBLICAN congress men and women have a child overseas.
do some research
guess there would have to be a war against people who wear fur to make the liberals sign up.

Not necessarily-- many military folks are Republicans though (not quite sure why that is).
But if you think Bush or any of his chicken-hawk cronies will send their kids, forget it. They didn't serve (well Bush seems to have sorta served), and neither will their kids.
And even if they do, I would be willing to bet that most will get cush jobs away from the nasty combat.

No, they just want to tell everyone else what to do and not put themselves or their children in harms way. Why doesn't Ann Coulter join the Army or the Guard. She is very agressive and I bet she could get 10 Iragi's before they got her.

I doubt it. Adults understand what is at stake.
The kids are the gullible ones.
