This boy was not your average child. He proved that time and again. Great video.
Imagine being a highly trained spy only to get discovered by a 11 year old
It's one of those situations where nothing you trained for can help you at that time. I doubt spies are trained to deceive kids. Cause typically in that line of work you don't see them
@@_hermannlakehunt_7278 d'accord
oof
Litterelly ever hacker movie ever
I guess it would be like tanya the evil
Why wasn't this kid treated like a war hero? I hate it when I hear about a young kid being a great soldier. This guy deserved to be treated with the upmost respect.
Because that would influence other kids to try the same thing, which is exactly what the military doesn’t want
As a US Navy veteran, I was particularly moved by this story. Thank you!
My Grandfather was a 16 year old Navy man in WW2. He served until 1976 and got out as a MCBoatswainsmate. 36 years total service.
It is DISGUSTING how the US treats its vets
Until these people are PAMPERED like they deserve, I will continue to be disgusted
Yeah the US government should definitely do better
And yet we allow our politicians and their lapdogs to live like kings, at our financial and constitutional expense.
The government doesn't care about the men and women in the military. All they care about is the money we tax payers give up.
US is still much better than other countries lol you should be a lil morel appreciative to be an American
It is rightful to be disgusted.
Wait until you hear of the 6 year old child that became a soldier for the Soviet Union. And there was another Soviet soldier that was at least maybe 70 or 80 years old that also fought on the front lines of the Eastern Front.
Wow 😮
Yeah but it's Russia. That kind of stuff is expected from them
So what?
He fought an evil empire by joining another evil empire, the Soviets.
Wasn’t there a 9 year old kid who fought against the Germans in WW1? (And no, he wasn’t Russian)
How common would you say this was? (People saying they’re older than what they are to be allowed to do things)
This is a whole another situation, but I remember Jeff Hardy lieing about his age to be allowed in the WWE. He was underaged
To think that Graham was already a war veteran and also a divorced father at the age of 17, while most of us are still going to school and living with our parents at that age. Even though what Graham did was wrong, I still admire him for his willingness to give his life to defend his country, no matter how impossible it seemed. Young people willing to fight like him are what this modern world full of spoiled brats needs. By the way, there's a tv movie about Graham's life called "Too Young the Hero", in which he is played by Ricky Schroder
He was not wrong to seek to defend freedom.
@@dougaldouglas8842 But he was still too young to be a proper fighter, not to mention that an immature child should never be exposed to the horrors of war as if it were merely a game.
Seems like you haven’t met many kids I personally know many hard working and patriotic kids.
Kids today are only upset and worrying about the views on there social media accounts ugh....
Is the movie worth watching?
DO NOT PAY YOURSELF FIRST. THAT'S THE WORST BUDGET ADVICE I'VE EVER HEARD. IT UNDERMINES THE CURRENT FINANCIAL REALITY OF THE LOW AND MIDDLE CLASS. BILLS, FIRST, SAVE AFTER.
The "pay yourself first" strategy involves making a budget of wants and needs. Once you budget your needs, you know how much money you can pay yourself first before spending on wants. Pay yourself first, and pay bills when they are due...
@@TheKarina-ns1ob I know what the strategy is. Learned about it back in 2014 while taking an economics and finance class. Also, now that it was first created in the early 1920s when we were living in a very different economic state. That strategy should not apply to people where we are currently. I agree with everything else you said though and think this was great content to share. 🙏
WOW 😮 😳 ..You really know expert pamela ...? I'm a living testimony of expert pamela, she has been trading for me for years now.
after watching so many UA-cam tutorial videos about trading I was still making losses until Mrs Pamela K. Weaver started managing my investments now I make $60,567 weekly. God bless Mrs pamela . she's been a blessing to my family.
Diversification is not a bad idea it really worked for me, remember that protection of capital is a must,expert pamela is such a good role model in the world today
Coincidentally, I'm actually writing a sci-fi/fantasy book where the main characters are all in their mid teens, yet are already taking down powerful terrorists. But hearing that there was an 11-year-old WWII veteran really makes me realize that even children are capable of tackling great danger, whether it be in fiction or not.
I read book what name
Do you have like a social media or sum that sounds like a book I’ll like
What's is the books name. I like that janura of books
It sounds silly, but I've decided to go with the name, "Tails from the Future". If anyone is wondering, yes, most of the characters are animals.
How is your progress with writing going?
Graham is a hero for helping the wounded sailors

My grampa was 14 when he joined, he was part of a merchant ship to help pay towards his big irish family (he's the youngest of 11 siblings) and mother with cancer.
Then WW2 happened and his ship got drafted, so he stayed on the ship because "double pay and hazard pay". He became a gunner, his superior officer had his head blown off next to him, he shot down a kamikaze plane and survived two sunken ships.
Hearing all this happening to a 14 year old of my Grampa is crazy compared to modern expectations.
While it was technically wrong for him to enlist I don't think he should have had all his accomplishments and stuff stripped from him
A salute to you from the British
🇬🇧🙋♂️🤝🙋♂️🇺🇸 Lad!
(boy)
You were Truly 1 of a kind!
I never herd of him myself until now. 🍀😮
Legend has it the stepdad is still yelling and throwing beer bottles at the wall
I learn more from this channel than I ever did in high-school and lower. Thank you Infographics Show for being the real mvp 💯
concise
instead of the usual teacher who is in love with there own voice.
і hатe иіggeѓѕ because i make beter viideos 🥚🧂🧂
Me too.
Remarkable! 😮
Good boy, a 1 tough cookie!
Wish I knew about his story prior to. This presentation
No child should fight. But as a country we aloud it. This war hero should have been treated better.
No one is treated anything but gun fodder by the elite, the elite starting wars. All wars would stop if they that caused them put themselves on the front line, as of old, and when of old, with kings we had men, now weak governments will cease all wars, starting wars if they had to pick up a gun
This is the type of thing that tells you that you really ain’t got no excuses to cease what you’re meant to do.
Another entertaining and informative history episode.
Love the content I’d subscribe 1 million times over again
So he was a sailor, then a marine. Not a soldier. Also the pledge is actually a creed.
They repeatedly mess this stuff up, it's ridiculous.
I'm guessing he was able to convince people he was of age because how physically mature he looked at 11 years old.
And people say kids grow up to fast these days.... wow. Sad story.
Veterans still don't get their fair share. Yet our military budget continues to explode. We're not even in active combat currently.
You see this comment on November 8th 2023 it's because we're sending all our money to the Ukraine and to Israel for these proxy wars.😢😢
You should always be toughest on the weakest trainee. If they aren't meant to cut it they will drop out for one, but the main reason is that they will be stronger so that they won't get hurt being the weaker one.
"The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in combat". Commander Richard Marcinko
A more apt description from Sparta is, "sweat in training to not bleed in combat"
I've watched the movie multiple times. It's unfair what they did to this poor kid
Imagine being defeated by a 11 year old kid😂
My great uncle fought at the battle of Guadalcanal at 13
Did he survive??
he would hav been based in new zealand , before u.s.a attacked Soloman islands in june 1942.
He was a 12 year old sailor! Not an 11 year old soldier. I don't get how infographics messed up the title
They didn't it was click bait
i really love your ww2 stroies
Like the Slim Shady says, anyone can be a badass.
I was gonna do my homework but I guess I have to watch this first 😅
Homework in summer vacations?
@@rubengomes901 different people live in different parts of the world. Different parts of the world have different seasons. It could be winter time where this person lives.
@@TheArtofFugue yea I'm in the US it's the first week of school
@@eDylWski Sorry, I think that you were American
@@rubengomes901 I am. I'm in school though.
Armenian heroes in WW2:
Field marshal Bagramyan
Tank marshal Babadzhanian
Fleet admiral Isakov
Air marshal Khudyakov
He Was Like “Let’s Roleplay Fortnite”
Disgusting the military pulled that considering all the facts. Damage was done going at that age in the first place, but to do what they did and stick him with that original discharge and no help makes me sick. They never should have taken his honors and his health care, that's going too far.
the real life spiderman minus the spider powers
Great video!
Life of a jet pilot video please
Great vid!
The Infographics Show is a channel that I watch every day and I love the history that it teaches me
Great Video keep the good videos up
there was a true story either, about a 6 year old boy joined the Soviet Union military, to help his commander friend
15:30, Because no Purple Heart = No obligation to pay for his combat related injuries.
Sad, but true.
HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TREATED BETTER
10:50 was the Santa hat on the cruise for the Santa Cruz islands
Can you do an episode about the youngest soldier ever to fight
📌I don’t know who but someone actually needs to hear this.You’ve got to stop saving all your money. Venture into investing some, if you really want financial stability.
Lately I’ve been thinking of buying cryptocurrency for retirement, I’ve set asides $350k to invest but along the line,I usually get cold feet, maybe because I have no idea what I’m doing, please I could really use some guidelines.
@@harrisvangeest5134 In situations like this,I always recommend to people on getting guidance at least from someone that understands price action and all that while you strive on improving yourself by watching videos and learning fundamental analysis.
@@andreavenghaus354 I started investing in cryptocurrency a little while ago and I’ve come to realize nothing beats first hand experience..Investing with Juan Antonio Landa has been the best experience ever.
Shush!
What a story 👏👏
We can't forget about Audy Murphy one of the most decorated of all time and he was only 14
I know a lot of people don’t like Carter but that was a really cool thing he did for this veteran, just saying.
11:00 There was no TV back then. His mom should be in a theater, watching that reel.
You did great 🫡
I like the testimony of the WW2 soldier that accidentally took too many amphetamines while running away from enemy soldiers🤣 He was awake for DAYS!!!! He was delirious. He survived until a ripe old age. But amphetamines were like coffee back then in Europe.
Too Young the Hero. A 1988 movie.
I would hate my family after that
"The youngest solider of World War 2"
Sergei Aleshkov: *Am I a joke to you?*
They literally mentioned him in the video.
It disgusts me how we don't take care of those who took care of us
Do you know who's Momčilo Gavrić. Hi was the youngest Serbian soldier, he became a soldier at the age of eight.
Wow
I think i’ve learned all the atrocities of World War II and then infographics show post another video
You all should do a video on the 1932 bonus Army massacre next
If Graham wouldn't have survived the conflict, the military sure would have announced his death to his family in this way:
American soldier: "His son bravely died fighting the Japaneses"
Graham's mother: "Bu-but that can't be. My son still goes to grammar school..." 😢
American soldier: "They were grammar japaneses, ma'am"
What are Japaneses??? 🙄
And this is why we call military boots on the ground "infantry".
There's also a lot of veterans that actually can't even come back to the United States the United States citizens but before the war they joined with Canada or they went overseas and joined with the Brits and since they're fighting for a foreign country it tosses out their citizenship welcome to the United States
Then there's the people who join the US military in order to get US citizenship, but then the US never actually gives them citizenship even after they complete their obligation.
The mom and sister were straight up Karens...
I wonder how his mom felt (like bruh he’s fighting in ww2)
they made a book about this can’t remember the name but ive read it lol
Soldiers don’t man ships, Sailors man them.
I wanted to see the part were he walked back into school in full military dress uniform with a chest full of medals.
Is that Stalin that’s a military leader in this video?
If this is a true story age has nothing to do with war. When you are being attacked by another it is all hands to the pumps. It disgusts me how the likes of the United Kingdom government plays at war. "Dear, dear, you are just one year to young to go to war. Come back in a year's time." War is all, if nothing. People may now sit back and pontificate over age, from the luxury of their dwellings, but very different if the enemy is at the door. You throw everything at the enemy because the enemy deserves nothing but annihilation.
lol what
First whoever is reading this have a good day
Where is the raw patriotism like this young man's today?
He could have done the 3 months and got all his benefits
Love from India 🇮🇳❤️
I'm holding my tears 🤧😞
So your telling me, that his medals were revoked because her sisters paper made the military looked bad?! That is pretty disgraceful.
So he’s Bucky Barnes?
I believe that there was a TV movie starring Rick Schroeder about Calvin.
Theres plenty of young boys who fought in ww2...
This is just 1.
He was a sailor during WWII, a Marine during Korean War, he never was a soldier.
"Congrats to everyone Who is early and who found this comment. 🐼
I did!
Meee
ty
Me 2
Did it
This kid is more manly than I am as an adult
Hi I wacht our videos almost everyday their awesome!
Imforgrafics keep up the great content
What a story 😥
He became a father AT 15???
and you opted for rc drones, satellites, and toy robots?
I wanted to watch this so bad but the background music is killing me
If she saw him on a newsreel which I doubt it was at the cinema not on a TV unless she was wealthy DA. Great yellow journalism
I read an “I Survived” book just like this
What was the title?
10:44-10:47 Sailors lol
I think I watched a movie about this kid
Attention to the sailor's creed
He got married at 14? Wow that's pretty young.
I feel wrong saying this as a parent should absolutely care and worry for their child as should a sibling and he wasent legal age to enlist and we do not know if he would of had a better life if he did stick with the navy or not but I cant help but feel his mom and sister making noise to get him discharged actualy did this ww2 legend almost as bad a damage as the shrapnel.
This is really sad.
At least with Calvin's jaw wound he won't have to worry about doctors noticing baby teeth
What about Momčilo Gavrić?
