Patty, It's true, a lot of underage young men lied about their age and joined the armed forces in WWII. I had an uncle that ran away and joined the Navy at 16. He claimed to be 18. I was watching the History Channel just last night and they mentioned the youngest to do that was 12 years old. Before being discovered as being underage he had won two medals. He was dis-honorably discharged. I'm not sure I would have agreed with that.
