    said to get a ”key" to heaven if they fought in the war

    Wow. That’s such a different kind of lie than the ones we tell people to get them to enlist.

      As a person brought up Catholic I can imagine how that would work

      Iranian child soldier: hey Pete, I have a key, let me open the gate

      Pete on the gate: sorry dude. That’s a dud key. Only the successors to me get to issue real keys, and my reps on Earth discontinued indulgences since 1667.

      Pete: also you chose the wrong religion. You weren’t even baptised. Sorry to say you’re off to purgatory for a few kiloyears (Iran uses metric, right?) to pay for your bad choices, murder, and not getting your dick cut or getting baptised

      As a reformed Catholic I’m pretty sure the kids gets what everyone gets: nothing
