I honestly think it would be possible to create this quite simply, by getting a bunch of old people along with their zimmer frames, walking sticks, a few supermarket trolleys and one or two mobility scooters.
Minimal training needed - 'Just be your usual aggressive selves, but stay focused on the target, no wandering off...Ethel!'
Airlift them to enemy territory and let em loose.
Bob's yer uncle.
Job done.
LILY & ROSE
Here are some photos of Lily & Rose. There are a few from the first time we saw them when they were just 4 weeks old. They would fit on your hand at this age and didn't look much like westies!

And you call me bonkers!
ReplyDeleteAlthough when I think about it...you are making a valid point here. So I gots me to thinking. Do away with Trident...mmm....yes. Decommission ICBMs... yes. But then of course each country has an ageing population of its own doesn't it?...which would mean that each could adopt the same strategy and we would have to endure another war of attrition...a new...(ahem) "Old War" if you like. On the other hand the more developed countries do have a larger population of old people therefore we could just send them all to an agreed front of infertile land somewhere and....well... last old person standing wins. A Pyrrhic victory is still a victory after all.
Mind you...we might need the President to develop a redundant-before-it's-even-made Supermarket Wars Defence System and there is the possibility that it would turn into more of a zimmer stand off as the fear of Mutually Assured Destruction grows. MAD? Perhaps. But think of the savings. No pensions crisis. No housing crisis. The global economy would pick up and the world would rid itself of its awkward problem. The movie industry would be revitalised....New classics will be made like "Apocolypse Eventually" etc with Col Kilgour kneeling down on the field of battle after calling for an air strike along the treeline to flush out the "Old dinks"...."I love the smell of old'uns in the morning...that...gas and pee smell...smells like......victory!"
But what happens when the bullets run out? Or when there are eventually no more wars to fight? Will you still have your finger on the button?
Ha ha ha! I just KNEW you would see the possibilities in this cunning plan.
ReplyDeletePersonally I think it addresses many issues and would free up the services that are currently geared up to old folk, thus enabling other members of our society to benefit. Got to be a win win all round.
