WOULD YOU HAVE DONE WHAT HE DID?

• There wouldn’t be any other option for me, I would be totally scared and sad but at the end thankful to my mom because she took me from war… • I wouldn’t be mentally prepared for going to the

war at the age of 12…if I had to go, I would wait till I am older…but only if it was really necessary because I don’t like it.
