The youngest U.S. serviceman was 12-year-old Calvin Graham, USN. He was wounded and given a Dishonorable Discharge for lying about his age. (His benefits were later restored by act of Congress).

I was wondering the same thing... How could they even mistake him for 16. Kids that age arent very bright either, and very immature, its hard to beleive that he actually made it...

They pissed in it. The general was Patton i think. Also think Churchill did it as well.

When the allied armies reached the Rhine River in Germany, the first thing men did was pee in it. This was pretty universal, from the lowest private to Winston Churchill (who made a big show of it) and Gen. George Patton (who had himself photographed in the act).
