“Trey Perkins, a 19 year old”
Leave the kid alone. American society does not allow men any longer - it is against the rules to be a man.
That said, single out this young man is wrong.
You might be right. He probably expected someone to take care of him. But then again, a hell of a lot of 17-19 year olds have fought many a brave fight over the years. You coddle him all you want.
I’m not singling out ONE young man, but questioning why NO young men stepped up to the bat. Most of the ones I’ve seen interviewed were young and healthy, but only an elderly man did the heroic thing. Are all the brave men and women currently in Iraq?
Nonsense! We have to start somewhere. This is, after all, an issue about INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY!!!
