While speaking about France's beefed-up defense budget,
Lecornu revealed that the age limit for most reservists
would be elevated to 70.

Where certain specialist skills were needed, he added, it
would be even higher.

The current limit for reservists — trained soldiers ready
to be called up if necessary — stands between 60 and 65
years old.

"We will increase the age limits... People will be able
to be a reservist in the French military until they are
70 years old and until they are 72 years old for certain
specialists," Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu told
French broadcaster RTL.

.. . .

Um ... this SAYS SOMETHING about France, and it
ain't good. It means the current generation either
is not signing-up much or, or/AND, they are next
to fuckin' USELESS.

I wonder if it's a similar situation in other
EU/NATO countries ???
