Unpopular opinion: Fighting honerably is important even against savages. There is no moral victory in defeating an enemy if you become no better then him in doing so.
That being said, if its a matter of survival for your nation or race, do what you've got to do.
The universe does not have morals. It only cares for what exists and what does not. Survival of my tribe is the ultimate good. If my enemy is defeated, then good has been achieved.
Honor is a concept shared between true men and should be respected. If your opponents act without it, then they are not men but animals. And you should put them down like you would any dangerous animal.
That doesn't give you full authority to torture and be a monster just because, just like it doesn't when you kill a bear or the like, but it does give you full rein to do what is needed to control or remove the danger. Its not evil to steal the eggs of snakes or poison entire colonies of insects, nor would it be when dealing with men who've lowered themselves to that level.

There’s nothing honorable about allowing woman and children suicide bombs your soldiers because they have civilian clothes on
