Older Americans Denied Ability to Enlist
The House of Representatives voted down a resolution that would have allowed citizens who exceed the military’s age limit to enlist, even when they pass the physical.
From Military Times:
Broun, a 66-year-old Navy Reserve doctor, said the legal limit blocking enlistment for anyone over the age of 42 “seems to be an arbitrary policy†in an era when many older people are in excellent physical condition.
“There are people who want to serve and are physically fit,†he said. “There are some 20-year-olds who cannot run a mile.â€

It has helped transform tactical employment, and saved lives on the battlefield. He explores why the project was ultimately successful, and how others can emulate it.
Police Obtaining Military Armored Vehicles
Guns.com reports that Orange County SWAT has received a new armored vehicle from Lenco. They say that it can stop .50 caliber rounds and countless hits from smaller rounds. My only question is, why does Orange County need such a heavily armored car when California has banned .50 caliber rifles and no one in the state is allowed to purchase a magazine for a rifle that holds more than ten rounds? If .50 caliber rifles have been banned the police shouldn’t need protection from them, right? Or maybe it is the case that laws don’t solve problems, they just create more of them.

The probability of working your ass off and becoming fatigued and injury-prone and totally angered by the amount of weight you carry is 100 percent,†Solhan told Marine Corps Times in an interview May 3.
