I suggest you read 'Quartered safe out here ' by George MacDonald Fraser, the author of the Flashman books.
It describes his time as an 18year old squaddie in Burma in 44/45 and what he thought of the killing of Japanese POWs and also what he thought of the 'fluffy bunny' types 50 years later who described the dropping of atomic bombs on Japan as a war crime.
Although a different campaign I believe his thoughts are still relevant.
