War is war and it depends on the participants and what rules they follow. I can speak only of myself and others with me that fought real wars with dead and wounded fighters, burned tanks and troop carriers, etc., and participated in covert operations. As related to wars I was involved in the front lines of fire in all 3 wars. Yes I admit there where fringe soldiers that did not follow the the morals of engagement and committed acts what should not be done. 1. In 1967 was targeted by cannon fire from across the border, on the way to Jerusalem right after the advanced command group. Escaped 3 or 4 cannon explosions and was happy I succeeded. True in this war never meet an enemy soldier in frontal position. 2, Not long after the war ended was sent to repair tactical gear in a tanks positioned in Nablus we and my subordinate arrived there and what I remember clearly an elderly Arab approached us seeing us sweating under the sun and offered us a cup of Arabic coffee, I wanted to pay him for the coffee and he refused to take the money - yes in principle he was still the enemy. I did not scream or yelled at him as I saw his demeanor as friendly trying to make contact. 3 In the War of Attrition 1971/2 I went with several soldiers to take the remains of an IDF soldier on the banks of the Suez Canal, we saw on other other side the Egyptian army watching us, I presume it was prearranged no fire will be open on each other as it was a humanitarian gesture to return the rotting body of a fallen soldier to his parents for burial. 4. Yom Kippur war was much more complicated and it traumatized me for decades. After few days we lost about half of our armored hardware tanks and troop carriers. It was decided that at night my team will cross the lines and salvage tanks and troop carriers that we were able to repair. Some of the images I saw were just horrible. Later on we crossed the Suez Canal witness unimaginable destruction and carnage in and around the Chinese Farm. Near Fayed in Egypt we meet some Egyptian soldiers unarmed with the hands up - we did not shut them only asked by radio that there are some prisoners' and we need the unit handling them to be taken. In Fayed we passed by some small houses with people inside and a white flag on the door - we did not open fire and continued all the way to the city of Suez with several stops on our way. What I am trying to explain that in all the wars and covert operation I did not fire on, or killed one person, as no one of the enemies we meet posed a life danger to me and my team. Yes and those where real wars. with many dead and wounded or those that remained without limbs. Crossing lines at night I at least was quite in fear as we knew what can happen if we make mistakes, But still at least in my conduct and other of my team there was no expressed bestiality and hatred, but anger at the enemy it was. Those are situation with certain rules of engagement with the enemy that he may kill you if you do not kill him, but nothing like what I saw or heard in the videos from Ukraine. Rape or torture of prisoners never even crossed my mind..
