I don't particularly care for Ollie's use of the term "youngsters", when referring to our soldiers.Well, 19 or 20 year old kids could reasonably be called youngsters, but Ollie and everyone else knows that they are adults. I'm sure Ollie thinks of them as brave young men, not boys.
Oh, I realize he meant no harm and that he adores our fighting MEN! I just think "youngster" is okay to use if you're on Parris Island or Fort Bragg.....not on the Front Line in Kuwait.
