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.

He young soldier is successful, the young means to be able to overcome the failure, being young, like the youth of our mind, the young meaning, the success of the world, by taking away the head, standing up to the head of the world, the young soldier means leaving thousands of sufferings in the chest with a smile,

By that age Genghis Khan already had his wife kidnapped.

I mean records were pretty bad then, so it is uncertain when he was exactly born, but by the time he was around 23, he already "united the Mongol tribes, became leader, and devised code of law Yassa".

There were many insane things that were happening for most of history, these last couple of centuries really changed the World quite a lot.

PS: I don't know how young this man was, but at one point in his childhood, he shot and killed his brother because he didn't share food he got by hunting or something. I don't know, but the man is nuts.

Its really amazing when we see 13 year old got Doctorate and become professor , i was thinking how there brain are capable to understand all those stuff.

And today after reading " Calvin Graham " , courage too not belongs to age or maturity.

Thanx for sharing.
