Loading ...France to raise reservist age to 70: defense minister
France’s military will raise the maximum age for reservists to 70, the defense minister said on Tuesday, after months of clashes over a divisive increase to the nation’s minimum retirement age.
The age limit for trained soldiers ready to be called up if needed currently stands between 60 and 65 years old.
“We will increase the age limits… People will be able to be a reservist in the French military until they are 70 years old and until they are 72 years old for certain specialists,” Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu told broadcaster RTL.
France has 40,000 reservists but President Emmanuel Macron wants to double that figure.
IS FRANCE THE FIRST OF THE NATO COUNTRIES TO PREPARE FOR KINETIC WAR!
Has to Be the Babylon Bee…right ?
It must be. The best thing about older men is that we don’t follow orders. We insist on making up our own minds. That’s not exactly what you want when someone yells, “Take that hill!”
These guys are shameless about methods to kill of old people. They will literally try anything including raising the age of military service to 72 years!!! Hahahahaha!! Hahahahaha!!! That is CRAZY. Why not just make it open ended and put the old cranks in charge of carrying around and dissecting old Second World War unexploded shells or maybe doing traffic control in war zones to keep the Tanks flowing. Holy Shit Skeeter, they are really trying to kill off old people.
