How Did the Ancient Peoples Talk About War?

i believe israel is using what everyone in the ancient ner used to use, kind of this ancient trash talk. They liked to use almost gensital like language. But then you look at the historical record, and it wasn't nearly as extreme as rhetoric thalone would be. We don't waton mad thes well, i have a friend that's jewish, and she says, "The stories we tell, they just aren't always the facts"
