the IDF code of ethics

I read this article in HaAretz about the IDF code of ethics. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1062127.html. It bothered me because there is no mention of Judaism in the article. Then I found this article by the author of the code.
The motivation for this code is strictly the war on terror. I perceived this as yet another example of why Yeshayahu Leibowitz was right. Mixing religion and state in Israel is bad for Judaism.

I'd be eager to hear other people's opinions about this.

Take a look at Religion and State in Israel.

Seems like the issues might interest you.
