85 year old men are possibly surviving World War II veterans. They've been trained to kill, including in hand-to-hand combat.

Probably 15-25% of them can't remember to take their pills or that they need to eat lunch. I'd be shocked if any more than 10% of 85 year old WWII vets remember their hand to hand combat training and have the physical capacity to put it to use.

I just visited my 85 year old Grandma over the holiday. Based on these observations, I'd say I'd start to be in trouble when there were enough of them lying lifeless that the court would start to become full (vertically) and I would deal with a limited air supply.

If one of them had an air machine, I should be good to keep going longer.

Richard Winters would so kick your ass.



Edit: I put up a picture of the wrong guy, though the other guy was funnier looking.

If you bring Dick Winters into the picture I think the question becomes how many 20 year olds could Dick Winters take.
