It goes into how his training was extremely severe, and how he was conditioned into becoming an Imperial which was all not his own choice. There is no segue where he chooses of his own volition to be as heinous as he could be. And the Huntsman from American Dragon was kidnapped as a child and indoctrinated, and he's still wholly evil. I still don't buy it. It seems to me like he's chosen to remain evil and keep being evil. Having "severe training" and being taught to be a First Order zealot is NOT brainwashing. Again, that implies loss of memory, identity, or free will, and near as I can tell, he still has all three. I remain unconvinced by your argument.
