A Boy Soldiers Beginning

At the beginning of the story you could tell that these where just ordinary children like you and me.  They had hardly any experience with the war and so quickly things changed.  The amount of the blood and gore was described so easily by the author.  People where shot to the point that they where swiss cheese and so many innocent lives where lost.  All of it happened so fast that it was shocking at how quickly their lives can change. In an instant everything they knew and loved could be ripped away from them and they couldn't do a thing about it.  I felt that it was disgusting at how the rebels had a fun time torturing innocent civilians and killing babies without a second thought.  They were monsters and there was no question about it.  They had gotten to the point to were killing was as simple as walking down the street. The Rebels had no remorse and that made them alien to me and I'm sure many others.
