This sort of thing has been going on in war since there has been war. I'm not sure what kind of training you would like to do, maybe sensitivity training? Empathy with the enemy?
These were reservists and apparently not trained in how to handle hostile prisoners who speak a foreign language. How much training do you need not to be violent? I'm sure any police officer or soldier could tell you that you need a hell of a lot more training to handle civilians properly than you do to engage in battle.

Your other points are interesting, but off-topic. Feel free to write up your thoughts into a new post. I'm interested in having a rational discussion about your points.
