From 2024, anyone aged 18 to 30 will be called up for a year of military service, with those served draft notices banned from leaving the country

Ths is going to be funny because there is a reason armies tend to be late teens and early twenties. If all armies drafter 35 year olds, wars would be very different.
Due to physical limitations, or were there other factors you were thinking of?
maybe its easier to con the young into dying with ideas of ‘valour/ honour/ pride’’ ? talk to any 30+ about doing anything dangerous/ killing himself for ‘honour’ and they’ll ask you to demonstrate it first.

Yeah in terms of “alright you grunts so take that hill!” usually they want that followed by crazy hu ra yelling and going up the hill as opposed to something like “nah. now is not a good time.”
Speaking as someone older than that, there’s far less reason/pressure to submit to authority when you’re older.
And far more likely that officers would get fragged if they were cavalier with soldiers lives.
Note: I’m not talking about professional soldiers that are older, but conscripts.
