For women to be important in shows they always have to be young and pretty. Wake me up when there’s a show/story/movie where women are important when they’re middle aged or older - you know, like how men get to be important in shows and movies when they’re middle aged or older. Every woman will become an older woman. This just reminds us that we all get tossed in the trash when we’re no longer something that males like looking at.

Did you know that over 2/3 of the U.S. military is under 30?
If the writers are true to form, they would indeed cast these characters as younger. You have to be between the ages of 18 and 26 to enter military service, so even if you went the full 20 years, you’d be no older than 46 at retirement, even if you came in at 26.

I don’t think they’re dissing the middle aged here, the military is a majority-young service, even if you’re a witch.
