Oh I don't like that.
Sure, let's give them guns too and train them how use them. Let's train them how to hold a knife and how to decapitate someone properly.
Let's teach them the parts of the body to approach first when trying to disable an opponent.
Surely this is in the best interest of thier self defence.
Luckily, my dad being a WW2 vet, who liked to drink a bit on the weekends, taught me all that stuff and more well before I was 13. Hahaha.
(I've yet to have an occasion where my life was in such jeopardy that I've ever had to use it. But ya gotta appreciate it, just in case.)
Anyways, why 5 years old? 3 is better. Better yet, 1 sounds good. poo poo, hell yeah, AK-47 man. Teach em when thier young to appreciate thier freedom and how to fight for it.
Or how to defend themselves from thier countrymen who want thier jacket, or shoes, or walkman, or cellphone.
