Yes. Quite a lot of them were drafted (like the "reunion" of riding clubs with the Waffen-SS) and used as well-equipped ordinary forces to spearhead ordinary advances. Not that this helped after they came into allied (US) POW camps. I lost a grandfather that way (delivered to the USSR, after fighting his way into American occupied territory for several weeks)...
I wasn't talking of "modern warfare" anyway, but referred to the age of the Men-at-Arms. Outright genocide was rare, more often the (femal) populace was enslaved and/or impregnated by hostile troops, or just impregnated by "friendly" troops.

For what it's worth, I envision the Vashanka ritual of the Twelve-Slaying (Thieves World) as a possible Humakti ritual close to Carmania.
