No. Seventeen is not a man. Not by any stretch of the imagination.

Tell that to the U.S. Navy; when I enlisted at 17 they called me one of their men.

[Wiser now]

I knew somebody would bring that up.

You were enlisted at that age, and as such you were under constant orders and supervision from older, more experienced males. At seventeen you weren’t in charge of anything. You were being taught manhood. You earned the right to be called a man, it wasn’t handed to you.

Same here ... I was in Great Lakes boot camp at 17. They called me a Navy man as well. I was in Vietnam soon after. I live in Arizona but I am looking at Calif out my window 5 miles away. We have rallies in the Calif border town 30 miles away. The town is a 2nd amendment sanctuary. When BLM showed up in our county seat 70 miles away ... several of us ... wanting to show what "big boys" we are ... according to some idio ... Freeper ... we went up ARMED to protect the businesses there.

In my almost 20 years on FR ... I don't believe I have ever seen so many limpwristed pansy DU rejects on the FR site at one time
