Isn't it discrimination not to hire old people? If they can pass the physical and writen test why can't they join?

The military doesn't have to follow the same laws enacted on private companies.
And they have raised the upper maximum to 42! (The Army at least)

More prone to disease, won't be able to continually hack the hard physical work of humping a ruck, brittle bones no good for paratroopers, the "I know it all sonny" that comes to all of us with old age!! :-)
Defective declining eyesight, slow reactions the list is endless . . . . .

I think the military could benefit from recruiting people with real world experience to bring new talents to the table.

They don't need to because everyone of you in there at present are going to be stop gaped until your at least 50. If you survive you will never collect day one of your retirement!
