This is especially true of the Ami people, who have a rigid system of authority based on age, and of the Paiwan and Rukai, with their distinction between the nobility and commoners. I rather suspect that our obedient nature made our boys very compliant soldiers on the battlefield.
在部落的機制裡，像阿美的年齡階級，或是排灣、魯凱的貴族制，基本上都常要求年輕人向長輩服從，這樣的機制是不是使得我們的子弟兵一到戰場上，對日本人特別地服從效忠？
