What if Ulysses grant was alive again and wanted to join the army?

r/

If a sorcerer brought Ulysses s grant back to the living at age 43 where his last memories were defeating the confederate forces and signing the peace with robert e Lee in 1865. He’s told hes in the year 2025. (Basically its grant ripped from 1865 and put in 2025)

He’s kind of brought up to speed on where hes at he’s resurrected in new york

So what if grant wants to join the army again? Would he need to go to west point all over again or what happens to his rank?

    well Military Tactics are just evolved from Older tactics,. they still Study Sun Tsu., the basics are the same, I don’t think he would have any problem adapting at all

    He may just have bone spurs. They weren’t disqualifying back then.

    43 is too old to join the US Army, especially as an officer. It doesn’t matter what he remembers.

    Military won’t take you over the age of 24 without congressional exceptions being granted. He’s done.

    I think the big issue would be how much if any back pay and retirement he’s owed.

    And while they’re figuring out something else to do with him they’d likely just send him to the Point to teach.
