Finnish grandpas out here proving retirement is just a side quest before the main campaign continues.
Surely you can be a drone operator when you’re 65?
The reservists age should start from 50 to 100. The older the better. So it’s also possible to solve the retirement problem and improve public healthcare.
Whats the point when we don’t have proper equipment for more than 280.000 soldiers? This is clearly more about building up “on paper brigades” than actual military capability.
Sisu was a documentary!
The old finns will be the first ones to sign up
Even currently 50-60 year olds do belong to “standby reserve 1st class”, so the uncs can be called if things gets really bad.
That’s…ridiculous to be honest
Given Finlands small population and long border with Russia, extending the reservist age seems like a pragmatic way to maintain manpower without expanding conscription
That’s not how drone operations work, people aren’t necessarily out in the field 😂
… that’s the solution for the pension problems all over the EU: Send old men to the military to get them shot so fewer pensions must be paid out. – This is such a shame … 🙃😑
Anyone and everyone to be sacrificial lambs for the war cause except the rich and politicians.
Let’s put politicians and the elites on the front lines and then you will see how quickly they can diplomatically resolve many of these issues
Finland has an answer to the decades-old question: “Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m sixty-four?”
Dont see the issue with asking cantancerous old men with not much left to prove to ask people to get off their lawn.
And both gender… Right?

Camo rollators demand peaks
Do men in Finland have any benefits and privileges for having to give years of their life to state, or are people “equal under law”
Theres a lot of active reservists in Finland who train military skills as a hobby. It has been very frustrating for them to lose their place due to aging even if they are still very fit and highly capable. This has been a very welcome change among them.
I’ll be pretty pissed if I turn 60 and suddenly me and the boiz get called back in XD.
We were only 3 days from retirement…
Please tell me at least 1 person having a meltdown in the comments now is Finnish.
Can confirm.
A reservist buddy of mine, who turned 50 this fall, woke up today as a 65 year old.
Those old grandpas who practice hunting and know the forests like their side-pocket are no joke and to be taken seriously.
Afterall, even Simo Hähä was a hunter ….
The fuck do they expect 65 year olds to do? Impale the enemy with the shrapnel of their knees exploding?
I know the actual answer probably more supportive roles(or if shit really gets bad simply having more meatbags to shoot bullets in the general direction of the endless horde of Russian conscripts) but its a cruel and desperate image having someone on the cusp of retirement sent to war.
I just turned 63.
Just when you think you’re safe they drag you back in.

Well you do have support roles too 😬
