Wonderful story, thanks. I would never judge what happened to a teenager in an authoritarian society undergoing a major war, unless there was some real evidence that the kid was an avid volunteer who did and said horrible things.

I know from living around ex-authoritarian societies what people do when dictators say jump. They mumble how high, and make just enough token effort not to get stomped into the ground themselves.
