 Professional soldiers must always strive to understand the ideological thinking of their enemies. Know their cultural norms and values. In other words know what makes their enemies tick. That is why the Central Intelligence Agency since its creation after WW2 has spent millions of dollars every year studying the cultural biases of people around the world.

Prash, how do you square that with the atrocities of American soldiers in Mai Lai Vietnam in 1968, ie the killing of around 500 unarmed civilians including women and kids. And also the torture and abuse of unarmed Iraqi prisoners in Abu Ghraib in 2003 by US soldiers?
