[ Oh no, one question in and she's drawing on her own experiences. ]
The only acceptable situation would be when lives are at stake. Specific, immediate lives, people you can point to and say "if we don't do this, they're dead." You don't throw a life away on a 'probably'.
And it's never okay for a commander to sacrifice someone who works for them without their consent. For one thing, that's murder. The only reason soldiers are exempt is because they're killing 'the enemy'.
For another, this is someone you're responsible for. Whatever the context, your job as a leader is to take care of the people who look to you for command. If you fail, it's a tragedy. If you pull the trigger, it's monstrous.
