  • It’s silly but it addresses a real problem. You don’t see job ads stating no women, Blacks, Mexicans, people with disabilities, etc. (This was very much a thing in the not too distant past, just look at job ads in the USA from the 60s)

    Age was added later because employers prefer hiring younger people as they can often pay them significantly less and get more work out of them because of their inexperience.

    There are examples of employers firing all of their older workers to save money (though many of these companies turned out as terrible for the long term health of the company).

    Older people tend to vote more and the state doesn’t want to pay unemployment to people so hence the law was amended.

    This is just another example of age and deviousness triumphing over youth and enthusiasm.








  • The only country on this planet that is currently capable is SEAD is the USA. No single or combined European power/s can put together a strike package that can significantly degrade an enemies air defenses. I don’t think China has the capacity yet and Russia obviously doesn’t have it.

    I don’t expect Ukraine even with Western hand me down Vipers to take down Russian air defenses. They may be able to contest for air superiority over a sector of the battlefield but it would be costly.

    Stealth is a huge component of modern Western air warfare doctrine that allows fighters to operate in contested airspace. But stealth isn’t SEAD.

    For everyone else, light mobile artillery, long range rockets, AA and drones are going to be the way forward.
