Run the BS detector by that line and tell me what a 28 year old student is doing on campus and not working for a living.
Well, I could point out that he might be a Clinton "Don't ask, Don't tell" 4 or 6 year vet and only now is attending college.
Or,
I could say that he might be one of those "professional college students".
Or,
Then again, you might be right and the line if full of BS.
The point is, his actions were wrong, no matter what his age.
