About This Quote
All nineteen-year-old males are children who are men capable of war. They are still boys who want to be protected by their parents. Just like they did when they were young, they yearn for the security that their parents can provide. It is important to remember that not all nineteen-year-old males are children who are men capable of war. Some of them are just boys, which is why it is best to look at them as such.
