A Call for the Graybeard support Brigade

 

Are any of you in this group willing to consider volunteering to become a member of a support group, The Graybeard Brigade, in the current conflict with radical islam?

 

If you are, as I am, over sixty-five years of age and have grandchildren who might become cannon fodder in the struggle with this resident evil, and you believe God, regardless of the name you give him, respects the man who tries to reflect tolerance but is not willing to ignore a threat to his progeny, let me hear from you.

 

We may be hampered by the trials and tribulations that come with aging, but we are not without value in this struggle. We are still capable of providing support in administrative and logistical functions, as well as other more menial tasks.

 

I don't suggest we pick up sword and shield, but rather the pen, the plow, the broom or shovel, the spatula. Free our young men of these tasks so they may provide the shield protecting our women and children from this threat.

 

This will be a volunteer group. No pay – with the possible exception of a minimal subsistence. We shared the rewards of an affluent society paid for by the blood, sweat, and tears of our parents, the “Greatest Generation”. It is time to pass the favor on to our grandchildren. Will you stand with me?

Sounds like a hell of a idea. 

I am at the age where Im not going to hump and assault anything.

But put me on some High ground behind a Ma deuce

and watch what happens .

Then I`ll make breakfast

Thanks for your response gymrat. I am looking for men (or women) over the age of retirement who feel they are capable of work and want to do what they can to protect our nation from this violence much like those who weren't considered for military service in WWII but volunteered for non-combat services. Just looking to "put my money where my mouth (and heart) is (are)".

even better dog - put you on some high ground with some binos and a radio - and me behind that land mass with a 120 mm Mortar and a radio.  I guarantee with a little team work we can get the job done.
