Don't fall for the leftist ploy to tug at the heart strings to see this as 'just a boy.' This jihadist was old enough to understand the consequences of picking up a weapon and aiming it at civilians and US troops.

As many as 200,000 Americans lied about their age in order to enlist in the US military during WW-II.

Young Warriors: Some Veterans Lied About Their Ages

Gerry Barlow was a 15-year-old who manned an anti-aircraft gun on a Navy carrier.
"I was fifteen. But nobody knew it," he said. "I didn't even think I knew it. I didn't feel like 15. I felt like everybody else around me."
Barlow found himself in the Navy after he ran away from a Brooklyn orphanage. He was down on his luck when he strolled past a Navy recruiting station one day.
"I walked in and that's when I asked, 'Can I join the navy?'" said Barlow.
Using his older brother's birth certificate and paying five dollars to a skid row drunk to sign his enlistment papers as his mom, Barlow became a seaman. And though he was a mere child himself, Barlow saw plenty of adult combat.
