Joseph John Clem (who changed his name to John Lincoln Clem) officially enlisted in the Union army at age 10 although he had been a camp follower since age 9.

McKenzie, a drummer boy for Brooklyn’s 13th Regiment was killed at Annapolis, Md., when he was only 12. His funeral, held on July 14, 1861, was attended by 3,000 people. A statute of the boy and his drum was erected to commemorate his sacrifice and is still one of the most visited graves in Brooklyn’s Greenwood cemetery today. ....." http://www.fdu.edu/newspubs/magazine/05sf/childsoldiers.html

pic. 2 Questions: 1.. If you were a Palestinian, no army, no airforce, no navy, under 24/7 Israeli attack / military occupation for 68 years... from the world’s 4th most powerful military... how would you, how could you, fight back, retaliate, resist? (Remember, by INTERNATIONAL LAW... you have a RIGHT, and Gandhi would say, DUTY to use any means at your disposal to resist.) 2. Were the armed Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto... Terrorists?
