For fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
Distrustful sense with modest caution speaks,
It still looks home, and short excursions makes;
But rattling nonsense in full volleys breaks,
And, never shocked, and never turned aside,
Bursts out, resistless, with a thundering tide.
Alexander Pope.
Yes, it was foolish.
Hello!
Unfortunately, the cut off age for enlistment in the Armed Forces of Ukraine is 60. Therefore we will not be able to process your application.
But we are grateful for your support and willingness to sacrifice for Ukraine and our brothers in arms.
It means a lot to us, truly.
Even if you cannot fight with us in Ukraine's fields and forests, please keep supporting Ukraine in whatever way you can and see suitable.
Best Regards,

And I was trained to hold back the Red Horde and everything.
Yes, it's foolish.
Yes, I could get killed. Indeed, I'd guess the chances of my getting killed, given my age, and that I've never been a speedy person (although not an out of shape one) are better than not.
But, with my Congressional representation doing what it can in order to see young Wyomingites get killed in Eastern Europe, well, maybe I could do something to make up for what they're doing.
