Audie Murphy was a man by the age of 17, taking care of his brothers and sisters because they were all orphaned sharecroppers. He worked and hunted all his life.

Hogg is scum and would starve after his Starbucks gift card ran out.

Another young man worth mentioning was Calvin Graham who lied about his age and enlisted at age 12 in the Navy during WWII. Was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with Combat "V", Purple Heart Medal, Navy Unit Commendation, American Campaign Medal,Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with two service stars, World War II Victory Medal, National Defense Service Medal. All when he 12 - 13 years old.

Was dishonorably discharged from the Navy when they found out about his age.

"In 1978, he was finally given an honorable discharge for his service in the Navy, and after writing to Congress and with the approval of President Jimmy Carter, all medals except his Purple Heart Medal were reinstated......His Purple Heart Medal was finally reinstated, and presented to his widow, Mary, on June 21, 1994, by Secretary of the Navy John Dalton in Arlington, Texas"
