Apparently even future four-star generals aren’t immune to youthful vanity.?On Thursday, Gen. Colin Powell shared a 60-year-old selfie of his younger self on his Facebook page. Gen. Powell captioned the photo with this:

Throwback Thursday – I was doing selfies 60 years before you Facebook folks. Eat your heart out Ellen!?The Ellen DeGeneres Show

Gen. Powell served under Pres. George W. Bush as the 65th U.S. Secretary of State, the first African American to serve in that position. So far, the photo has had 28,000 shares, 110,737 “likes,” and over 3,000 comments.
