A quick brief about Calvin Graham , Calvin was the youngest soldier who participated on war (world war 2) , Calvin wanted to join to the army , but he's underrated , he's only 16 and the must need age is 17 to 18 to participated , Calvin Graham act like a man , he tried and practice speaking deep, and he fake his age and participated on the war.

Calvin Graham received a bronze medal and a purple heart due to his braveness , while his fellow crewmen we're off celebrating , his mother called and informed to him , that Calvin graham the decorated veteran was in fact , barely a teenager.

The Navy quickly jump into the action , stripping graham medals , and holding him on prison , and after president jimmy carter elected in 1976 , graham wrote on the white house.

I'm sure he was a great soldier. I hope he really did good things for his country. However, I don't think he is in any way the youngest soldier ever, unfortunately. There are child soldiers even today in many countries in the world. You can check this Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_use_of_children. It says that some people in Bolivia have been forcibly conscripted as young as 14 years old. In Africa, many militants groups kill parents and force the children to be soldiers. I know this happened in Cambodia too. Many children were much younger there.
