<br/><br/> "In December [2002], just before the Florida National Guard's 124th Infantry Regiment was mobilized for the war in Iraq, Sgt. James Flores' 23-year-old son asked him, 'Dad, why do you have to do something like this at your age?' Flores, 49, replied, 'Son, it's still my turn.'...While it is not unusual for senior officers and noncommissioned officers to achieve 'senior citizen' status in the military...Flores is still one of the foot soldiers, pulling guard duty, eating MREs, staying in shape and, as best he can, thinking young." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) This article examines the reasons that "keep troops over 50 in the military's reserve units, where green recruits are soaking up their savvy."
