From an outside perspective of course it isn't but when you are a part of the military and you have the responsibility over your comrades lives you will do anything to protect them including killing people who you don't know
Including commiting genocide and various war crimes?
I mean you have a point from a judicial standpoint and I'm not saying theyr behavior is ethical but I understand why they do what they do and i dprobablty do the same if it means my friends wouldn't have to risk their life
Anything? Like punishing soldiers who kill innocent civilians including children and journalists during times of relative "peace"? Because that would surely have gone a long way to reducing the deaths of your "comrades". Instead we have an Israeli sniper kill journalists and then the government says "they were armed with a camera".
No. They are not doing everything they can to protect their soldiers. They are not seeking peace. They are seeking silence and subjugation.
