the main premise behind the book is old people being rejuvenated and turned into soldiers. here's the deal:
at age 65 you sign up to be rejuvenated at age 75. you get a totally excellent new body that is in its prime, age 25, but of course there is a catch. the catch is you have to sign up with the colonial defense forces for a period of 2 years. there is a little fine print that says the term can be extended to 10 years at the option of the CDF, colonial defense force. all terms get extended to 10 years. the CDF fights all sorts of blood thirsty aliens and there is a 60% chance that you will be killed before the term is up. if you survive the fighting they give you a civilian body and you can become a colonist somewhere in the universe but not on earth.
the new soldiers get a week to play with their new bodies before being sent off to boot camp. guess what the main activity is in the week of fun, sex! the old farts are horny as old rat shit!
would you sign up for a fabulous new body and agree to become a soldier?
i love you sons of bitches.

For sex? Why in the hell would I do that when I can't get along with these fucking women?
Besides, I don't like wars, but fuck with me and I'm blowing you up.
I love you too, ya son of a bitch.
billy - sex is optional and you can blow up aliens ad infinitum, provided they don't blow you up first.
provided they don't blow you up first.
That sounds like a path to some peacefulness. I guess I could live with that.
At least death isn't a nine to five job, hehehehe
and you get green skin so your new body can produce energy and food from the sun just like a tree. you would become part of the intergalactic ecosystem.
Who says you don't get sex when you're older. For the body without eventual illnes, sure.
Well, there's always the chance the aliens could be defeated during your term, or maybe earth could make peace with them.
Old Man's Petticoat would be another good title for a book if I could think of a story.
charlene - of course mature people have sex but things improve with an enhanced 25 year old body. glad to see you're going kill some aliens with me.
gb - there's no shortage of bloodthirsty aliens out there so 10 years looks like a lock.
That would be an offer I couldn't refuse.
charlene - of course the more mature people have sex but things would improve considerably with a young enhanced body.
gb - i think there is a limitless supply of aliens out there.
Blogger ate some of your comments, looks like it got some of mine too.
Yesterday I said I'd sign up and do it, today I think I'd sign up to get the week of fun then go awol.
tex - excellent idea! maybe you could sneak in with the next group and have a second week of fun then go awol again.
The optimist in me would like to think that human beings come to their senses in the future and realize how idiotic war is but then I sober up. I guess I would have to pass up killing aliens for a blow job.
Since you define our target as aliens (not human), I think I could slip my moral imperatives just long enough to sign something. It's been known to happen, so I know I'm capable of it.
At 65, we know we're going to spend most of our remaining time getting blood drawn by aliens anyway. We'll be subject to medical experimentation in strange laboratories and (as the trend progresses) forced to have whole organs replaced without our real, informed consent. And we'll be thrown into social isolation chambers, allowed to spend time only with old, sick people. I'm pretty sure it's all gonna piss me off and I won't survive it.
So, yeah, Sure. Sign me up.
Not me - I wouldn't be a soldier for anything, not even a new body. Of course, I'm not unhappy with mine as it is and I don't lack for sex, so maybe I should revisit this question in another couple of decades.
mr shife - but you'd be protecting your grandchildren!
nance - wow, you mean it's not all sunshine and lollipops being a senior citizen. killing aliens sounds better all the time.
secret - the offer is always open, the colonial defense forces need you.
alright Myshkin. I'm signing up for some damned newfangled program that will allegedly help me manage my six or ninety social networking accounts and maybe even post on the Shark Tank again.
Why can't you just join FB? It would really make my life a whole lot easier...
rocky - i'm thinking about fb. with your military background i thought i could have counted on you to join the colonial defense forces with me but it appears as though you may have clicked on stupid question.
alright, who are the malcontents that clicked on stupid question?
you're blackballed from the colonial defense forces.
Do you get to change genders? Hell, if I could go back to a 25 y/o I'd want to try it as a woman. I am sure for the first two years I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off myself... oh and I would be totally Bi. Sign me up.
oh man..I have to read this book...I'm surprised the usOfa hasnt' figured out a way to get this to work.
