The entire tribe was wiped out Aussie. No regard was given for the innocence or guilt of the individuals that were murdered. According to Gandalf, they were guilty by virtue of being part of a mindless collective.
If I had been in Vietnam, and I did not believe (politically) Australia ought to have been there, should the Viet Cong have spared me as an individual even though I was there killing them with my fellow Australians?
Should the Australian contingent have worn two separate uniforms so that the Viet Cong only shot at the red uniformed Aussies, and left the blue uniformed ones alone, even though all Australians, the red and blue, were all shooting at the Viet Cong with an intent to kill.
