Oap Gets War Call-Up
An 80-year-old pensioner has been called up for a possible war in Iraq. Joe Steer has been ordered to prepare for battle in a bungle by the Ministry of Defence.If he went, it would be the first time he saw active service since the famous World War Two battle of El Alamein in Egypt in 1942, The Sun newspaper said.
The call-up papers came in an official government envelope and ordered Steer to report to a training camp.
"I'm a bit past my prime," he told the paper.
"It's too high-tech today. I'm used to rifles and machine guns, not missiles."
An MoD spokesman told the paper the call-up was due to an administrative error
mmmmm.....
