Aimee, I LOVE the character setup and inciting incident of this--an underage soldier stranded in enemy territory, it's so compelling on so many levels. However I wonder if "he is faced with the most difficult choice to make and no one he can trust" can't be bumped up a notch to reach that same level. Give us a compelling hint about what that difficult choice is, and why "no one he can trust" ties into everything else you have set up and is something that sets this apart (wouldn't that unwillingness to trust be true of anybody caught behind enemy lines?) Such a great setup deserves an equally great conclusion teaser! (I'm on the edge of my seat...waiting to see what you come up with!).
