You probably don’t want a near-retirement-age person hauling a rifle on the front lines, but something like 90% of a modern military doesn’t directly engage in combat. If you can drive a truck to keep the logistics chain moving or something…shrug
One of the national pastimes in Finland is running between a sauna and jumping in snow/an ice lake and back, those 60+ year old are fine especially when it comes to cold.
I don’t know about that.

Most 60-year-olds cannot do that. Most of them are chronically ill. They need warmth and pills.
There are countries where this is true. But AFAIK, not in (most?) European countries.
*wheezes in American
lol 60 year olds in Finland will friggin pass you twice on the sports track before you had even time to tell them they’re chronically ill.
