The U.S. Army is raising its maximum recruitment age from 35 to 42, while also relaxing rules for recruits with certain drug convictions.
The changes will go into effect on April 20, according to Army Regulation 601–210, which was published March 20.
The minimum age to join the Army is 18, but recruits can enlist at 17 with parental consent.

Think a lot of people are reading this as "omg we are going boots on the ground in Iran", and maybe we do. But there is really no reason we can't have older troops in the modern age given the variety of positions available.

I agree with you. It's not like any troops recruited under the new policy would be ready in time for service in Iran. I don't think they are related to each other.

Less than a year from now today’s Russian recruit will probably be dead or wounded.
At the rate Russia is suffering deaths and casualties, no amount of control of media and propaganda will be able to turn the tide at family's dinner table.
Putin's army is not unbreakable especially when not fighting for home and hearth.

Ukrainian drones reportedly strike oil terminals in Russia's Leningrad Oblast in third straight night of attacks
March 27, 2026 1:37 am
Ukrainian drones reportedly struck oil terminals in the port cities of Ust-Luga and Primorsk in Russia's Leningrad Oblast overnight on March 27, Russian Telegram media channels reported.
The reported strikes mark the third straight night of attacks targeting oil facilities in the region.
Ukraine launched a mass overnight attack on March 25, hitting an energy terminal in the Baltic Sea port of Ust-Luga and a Russian military icebreaker in the port of Vyborg. While on March 26, Ukrainian forces struck the Kirishi Petroleum Organic Synthesis (Kinef) oil refinery in the city of Kirishi, Ukraine's General Staff confirmed.
In the early hours of March 27, local residents reported hearing explosions in the area of the oil terminals, located off the Baltic Sea, as officials warned of a drone attack on the region. Photos and videos posted to social media appear to show flames emanating from the site of the attacks.
Although there was no immediate confirmation as to what was struck in the attack or the extent of the damage caused, preliminary reports indicate that a holding tank storing oil products had detonated in the attack on Ust-Luga.
The Kyiv Independent cannot immediately verify the reports. Ukraine's military has not yet commented on the reported attack.

Won't get far in the courts, but it's a start. In a place like Slovakia, 13,000 is a huge number.

Kremlin expects "large voluntary contributions" from oligarchs – FT
Andrii Muravskyi — 27 March, 14:01
The Kremlin is seeking to improve Russia's financial situation through voluntary contributions from oligarchs, and some have already agreed, viewing it as a "debt for the 1990s", when they built their businesses.
Source: Financial Times
Details: The outlet writes that Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin has asked Russian oligarchs to make voluntary contributions to the budget to stabilise finances amid the war against Ukraine. FT cites sources familiar with the conversation.
Sources stated in approached a large group of businessmen with a request to support the budget. The Russian leader made it clear that he intends to continue the war until the remaining parts of Donbas not currently controlled by Russia are seized.
Two businessmen who attended the meeting have already expressed their readiness to contribute. In particular, Suleiman Kerimov is said to have agreed to provide around 100 billion roubles (approx. US$1.2 billion), while businessman Oleg Deripaska also backed the initiative.
The Kremlin itself acknowledged that the meeting took place and that contributions were discussed but insisted that Putin did not ask for anything, claiming it was an initiative of big business.
Responding to a Reuters journalist, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that one of the participants in the meeting "did indeed say that he considered it necessary to allocate a certain large, very large sum of money for the state and that this was his family's decision."
"It is not true that Putin made such a request," the Kremlin spokesman said. He also stressed that the discussion was not about financing the war.
Quote from Peskov: "One of the participants argued that the vast majority of those at the meeting started their businesses in the 1990s, and, of course, this beginning was in one way or another linked to the state. And therefore many now simply consider it their duty to make such contributions."
Details: According to The Bell, the idea to "shake down the business sector at a difficult time for the country" came from Rosneft head Igor Sechin, who allegedly outlined it in a letter to Putin. Peskov denied this.
He refused to name "one of the participants in the meeting", citing the fact that the meeting was closed.
According to the outlet's sources, billionaire Suleiman Kerimov pledged to contribute 100 billion roubles, and the idea was supported by "at least one other major businessman present at the meeting".
