You’re not a researcher depending on funding that barely exists anymore, I assume.

If an army is dumb enough to offer me a permanent position when I’m 60, I’d take it too (then immediately retire and live off the pension).

Just because you sold your soul to the devil doesn’t mean others necessarily will.
If anything, doing it in your 60s is even more morally reprehensible because you should have enough world experience by then to understand what militaries truly are. Both the atrocities they commit regularly on behalf of politicians and vested interests, and the lies and manipulation they perform during recruitment to get young people enlisted.
