I question whether this is actually true. I suspect if conscripted most people would find a way to believe the propaganda to justify their actions. You wouldn’t be bombing a hospital you would be bombing what used to be a hospital that is now converted into barracks and weapons storage to disguise the weapons used to threaten your family.
I certainly think better people would avoid the raping and in general torture of people. But I think given the choice between participation and death most would participate.
I’d run first, but if forced to fight or die I’d fight likely regardless of cause. I think most people if put in that position self preservation would kick in.

That's understandable but once you decide to start killing innocent people to save your own life you can't expect sympathy or respect.
