How old is too old for the army?

42 for any branch of reserves, active duty, and national guard. You must be in good enough physical shape for your age range however.

There's far more to it than just "age 42". The maximum age to enter the army is simply equal to the maximum age allowable at that particular time (based on the needs of the army) for that particular job, and recruiters do not necessarily know the maximum ages for every job. The maximum age also depends whether or not you are prior service, and basically have enough time to retire (meet 20 years of service) before a certain age. The maximum age for becoming an Army registered nurse (registered nurses are officers) was age 48 during the war. There are waivers available, one must qualify and the Army must have a need. If the Army doesn't have the need, it isn't likely to give an age waiver.

Requirements and acceptance criteria are always changing. What's true today may not be true tomorrow.

Age requirements DIFFER per what you want to do! Want to be an officer? Max age might be 30+; Want to be a (army) pilot? Max age was your flight packet had to be submitted by your 29th birthday!, Want to be a physician? Age 62 might be the cut off, etc. Do not only rely on what a recruiter, etc., tells you, instead, go straight to the source and READ the applicable Department of Defense letter, Department of the Army Pamphlet (DA-PAM), etc.. Good luck!

How did Gaius Marius change the military?

Marius made several changes to the Roman army. For starters he got rid of the maniple system of fighting and replaced it with the more mobile cohort. He opened up the army to all citizens, not just those who could afford to arm themselves and he gave the poorer men steady pay and the promise of land at retirement. But the most important change Marius made was to give Rome a well trained, standing army. Because of the 15 year enlistment, the men remained in the army and did not disband at the end of each campaigning season as most ancient armies did (Rome included before Marius). This gave Rome a distinct advantage when the new campaigning season began as they had a well trained army ready to go.

What nations pose a military threat to the US?

In order to answer this, we need to differentiate between "threaten" and "endanger".

Unsurprisingly, there are many countries angry with us that present threats of some magnitude (albeit sometimes of a nearly insignificant magnitude). There are other countries that definitely have the resources to seriously endanger US National Security, but aren't, due to alliances, other threats that take up their time, etc.

Countries that harbor and train so-called terrorist groups are potentially threats, but the threat comes from the group itself; not the sovereign nation (usually). Some of these countries include Lebanon, Palestine, Syria. Libya, Morocco, Somalia, Angola (maybe), Venezuela, and quite a few others. This does NOT mean they represent a serious threat, however.

Of those countries that have the military and/or economic resources to endanger National Security, I would add Russia (we're on good terms now, so it's not likely, but Russia does have the arsenal), the Ukraine (ditto Russian), China (on good terms but capable of causing economic chaos if they wanted to), North and South Korea.

And many others. Countries that can cause difficult problems and regional threats might include North Korea and Iran at the head of the list.

Why did general Sherman and general Grant want to wage a total war?

Sherman used total war tactics because it broke down the society of the war, it also destroyed the economy and helped bring the war to and end. Sherman pretty much said, don't mess with the union.

Sherman knew that the soldiers received support and encouragement from the civilians back at home. The Confederates could go on fighting as long as they received food and supplies from those back at home. He wanted to destroy the will to fight for both the soldiers and the civilians. Soldiers did not want to fight if they were worried that their homes would be destroyed or their families were suffering.

What general led the third army into Paris to liberate the city from German occupation?

Without the Allied invasion in June 1944 there would have been no liberation, so credit must go to the supreme commander of the Allied armies, Dwight D. Eisenhower. Commanders in the field, such as Montgomery, Bradley, Patton and others also deserve mention.

How did Marius changes to the military change Rome?

The Marian reform (170 BC) allowed the propertyless to join the army. Previously, only people with a property value above a certain threshold were drafted. This was because the individual had to provide and pay for his military equipment and only those who could afford this were drafted. Marius made the state provide and pay for the equipment of soldiers and abolished conscription, making joining the army voluntary. The poor flocked to the army because it gave them a career and pay that kept them going for 16 years and at the end of the service they would get a honestamissio. This was a certificate which sectioned the legal end of the service and granted the retiring solder either a lump sum (numnaria missio) or a plot of land in the Roman colonies (settlements) in the conquered areas (agraria missio). This was also given to soldiers who were discharged early due to injury or illness (gratiosa missio). Military service was increased to 20 years by Caesar and to 25 years by Augustus.

Marius also did away with the military formation of the maniples and replaced it with the cohorts.
