It's not a justification for genocide, it's a call for empathy. Give what I wrote another read with that in mind.
As for your questions... I think our soldiers are victims. I was there, so I think I've got at least a somewhat informed perspective on things. It's not something you can prepare for. In my experience, forgiveness and understanding come with time, but it will never be the majority.
