Goddammit. You said it well. Children made to fight against their roots. The Turkish Ottomans knew it well. The janissaries were Christian boys between 8 and 14, forcefully conscripted, circumcised, converted to Islam, and raised under Turkish standards. They were the main force in taking down Constantinople.

I agree with everything you say. My heart bleeds for these children.
So well described … such a devious strategy… it must be brought to the light and denounced!
