If you take a step back and look at the people encouraging Flit, every single one of them aside from Emily and Bruzar (who's focus was on having Flit save people, not to actually fight) has been driving him down the toy soldier route to some degree. Grodek is the most obvious and most clearly driven in accomplishing this because Flit is his best weapon and he cannot have the kid start *thinking* and possibly undermining his own determination. Woolf isn't purposefully guilty of it, since he's a soldier talking with a soldier. Yurin is an odd ball as her story, sad as it is, is only further driving/enabling Flit's vengeance route.
It will be interesting to see what the show does with this because there's a possibility for something very neat to come out of it (like breaking Flit and rendering him incapable of piloting the gundam for psychological reasons of having been a toy soldier and being traumatized by it), that would be unusual for the genre and would also be a great way (aside from just *time skip lulz*) to put the Gundam in Asem's hands.
