I had a Sgt Major in '76/'77 that had been in one of the youth groups during that. He used to start his "O" groups with "When I was on the other side and the bullets were against me"... I think he was even younger. Just little like the defenders of Berlin.

At the end of WWII in Germany
there were plenty of armed 13 year old kids with rifles and Panzerfausts. The same thing is happening today in Africa and the middle east. We don't get smarter and nothing changes.
