19 year old loses his life savings shorting copper because he thought the Olympic bronze medals being ugly would crash its price

>He shouldn't be responsible he's only 19

Andrew Jackson was admitted to the NC Bar at 20 after having been a POW in the revolutionary war. He also fought his first duel. Was a US Senator at 30

Andrew and Robert were captured in April 1781 when the British occupied the home of a Crawford relative. A British officer demanded to have his boots polished. Andrew refused, and the officer slashed him with a sword, leaving him with scars on his left hand and head. Robert also refused and was struck a blow on the head.[14] The brothers were taken to a prisoner-of-war camp in Camden, South Carolina, where they became malnourished and contracted smallpox.[15] In late spring, the brothers were released to their mother in a prisoner exchange.[16] Robert died two days after arriving home, but Elizabeth was able to nurse Andrew back to health.[17] Once he recovered, Elizabeth volunteered to nurse American prisoners of war housed in British prison ships in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina.[18] She contracted cholera and died soon afterwards.[19] The war made Jackson an orphan at age 14[20] and increased his hatred for the values he associated with Britain, in particular aristocracy and political privilege.[21]

19 is a military aged male, if you were walking around with a shovel in Iraq you'd get dropped.
