Would you rather have an 18 year old running back or a 50 year old one on your team?
Would you rather fight an 18 year old Mike Tyson or a 50 year old Mike Tyson?

No US military would even consider you for enlistment. They have no use for you, once you've reached the ripe old age of 50 yrs. To them, you're all washed up!
Just face it! We're all on the conveyor belt of time...
Right now, it's your son's time to dominate on the ascents!
