Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick Proposes Military Draft for All Those Aged 65 and Older.

"Why should America's youth risk their lives fighting terrorists in places no one has heard of, such as Mazari Sharif and Albaghdadi?

Give these men and women a rifle and a walker, if necessary, and have them makes themselves useful.

At the very least, it will eventually reduce the costs associated with Medicare and Social Security."

Far fetched?

He did say THIS about the economy and the coronavirus.

"No one reached out to me and said, as a senior citizen, are you willing to take a chance on your survival in exchange for keeping the America that all America loves for your children and grandchildren?" he said. "If that's the exchange, I'm all in."

A lot of those older people are possibly veterans though who have already served.

@Astro

Maybe he'll increase the age limit for the reserves, too, to 85?

@Astro the first part is made up nonsense

@texasdaddydom

Obviously, you didn't get the point.

Or maybe you DID and you're just trying to deflect from the idiotic statement of your Lt. Gov.

@beckyromero no I do not back him or what he said but people are responding to what he did not say ...
