I didn't mean you personally send 18 year olds to war. It was meant as the colloquial 'you' or 'we'.
I would not want an 18 year old to hold higher, most trusted positions of power but they have every right to begin to be involved in the overall process.
And that is what Baron is doing at this point. Getting his feet wet in the political arena.
I wish more young people would become actually aware of what is going on and wake up politically and start to get involved with Patriot candidates.
Even knocking on doors or manning a booth for a MAGA candidate would be great for teenagers to do. Heck, attending a Trump rally would be more than the vast majority of young people do. My daughter was a young teen when I took her to a local MAGA rally and she loved it. She wishes she could vote for Trump but she is just a few months too young for that.
As I mentioned, I know their brains are not fully developed yet, so I would not want them making complex decisions with lasting consequences.
I dig what you say... You are planting good seeds and preparing her to step up to life. We need more of that today. As smart as many of the youth are. They don't have as deep a playbook as a well developed mature person.
Jumping on your comment here.. Barron is 17 this year. And DJT said it's cute Barron joining the Republican event thingy. That number 17..wink wink
I thought Baron was actually 18 but Trump said he was 17.
You know, that number that keeps popping up over and over.
