I don’t actually see this as embarrassing (though being a confederate colonel is embarrassing af). I’d rather a kid kill me than kill a kid. I don’t know how likely it is to get out of the situation without anyone dying, but if someone’s got to, I’d prefer it be the adult, even if that’s me.

Clearly I would be a bad soldier.

The civil war, like all wars, was a truly horrifying place to serve regardless the side one found themselves on.
