?Juvenile delinquent is a contradiction in terms. ?Delinquent? means ?failing in duty?. But duty is an adult virtue ? indeed a juvenile becomes an adult when, and only when, he acquires a knowledge of duty and embraces it as dearer than the self-love he was born with.?
? ?Starship Troopers? by Robert A. Heinlein (1959)
The quote above is a memo to the national serviceman who was recently photographed walking while texting on his phone, in uniform, with his maid carrying his army field pack.
According to some netizens, this kind of citizen journalism isn?t fair to the young man because it doesn?t offer any context that might explain why he, despite being in fatigues, chose to do something as blatantly stupid as this.
