Likely the orders will be to shoot deserters. Even so the first desertions have already happened.

And then what? They can never go home again. You said, yourself, that they are "scared kids."

Edit: I have no doubt that there have been some desertions and I am sure that there will be more, but I am not sure that it is reasonable to expect that any given "scared kid" will do so even if they believe they are on the wrong side.
