Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI have some good news and bad news about Afghanistan
The bad news is that Trump's probably going to send in more troops.
The good news is that the Army raised the age limit for enlistees to 42 so 4 of Trump's 5 children can, and should, sign up and go!

He'll be the third president to do so.
You'd think sooner or later someone would get a clue.

(20,190 posts)5. My bad. They raised it to 42 in 2006 but rolled it back to 35
in 2011. Marines are still 28. Air Force is 39. Navy is 34 but you can be no older than 27 to train to be a Navy pilot. Coast Guard is 27.
So all of Trump's kids except Barron can enlist in any branch but the Coast Guard and the Marines. At 34, Ivanka is the oldest.
