What a generation, the World War II generation was. After the start of World War II, my 16 year old dad stole his brother’s birth certificate and joined the Navy. He was only found out when his brother tried to join up. By that time, my dad was 17 and on a ship in the Pacific Ocean. He couldn’t be in the European theater as he was born in Germany. So here is my dad, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean fighting the Japanese, caught lying about joining up. So the captain of the ship had him immediately discharged, and then allowed him to enlist on the spot. After all, there was a war to be fought.
