They're both a cinematic example and (sort of) a RealLife example.

* ''Series/DadsArmy'' is based on the Home Guard in [=WW2=], the desperation measure Britain employed in 1940 to bring back older men with previous military experience to do whatever was within their capabilities. The Walmington-On-Sea platoon is formed of men of average age sixty, veterans of older British wars, who all, while having retired from active service, ''wish'' they'd been Badasses. Corporal Jones, for instance, is over eighty and a veteran of ''four'' previous wars going back to 1881. The only real Badass among them is octogenarian Private Godfrey - the platoon's medical orderly. Who as a CombatMedic won bravery medals in [=WW1=] for retrieving wounded men under enemy fire.
