Even in war we may kill our enemy but are not allowed to hate him. That's not an easy task and not often possible considering human emotions.
1 John 1:8-10 KJV
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
The commandment is THOU SHALT NOT KILL. Consider the story of the good samaritan. They were enimies. Jesus would not have embraced the samaritan killing his wounded enemy. Love your enimies,do good to them that hate you. If your enemy is hungry feed him, if he thirsts give him to drink, for in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head. Vengeance is mine i will repay says the lord! For you will hear of war and rumors of war see to it that you are not afraid.
