Ninth: A Tactical Decision (Text; anon)
(TW: Murder/Sororicide, Betrayal, DR Spoilers)
[The last few months had given Mukuro a lot to think about- especially with regard to her own death back home. One part still didn't make any sense to her:
What had she done wrong? Why had Junko killed her?
...It was with those thoughts swimming around in her head that she sent another late night message to the network.]

Reviewing the strategy from a recent battle at home. I want to understand the rational for the decisions taken.
A soldier is engaged in a stealth/undercover mission. However, they have made a mistake that risks the operation's success, and have not realised their error.
The mission commander is in a position to eliminate the operative to preserve their mission, without exposing themselves in the process.
Is that course of action reasonable? To put it another way- under what circumstances would you consider sacrificing one of your own men to ensure a mission's success or to prevent it's failure?
Don't feel you have to answer.

In the war I fought, we told ourselves there was no cost too great for victory. In truth, that was little more than sentiment. We all knew what lines we were and weren't willing to cross. If one of my subordinates had chosen to sacrifice themselves, or was captured or killed... that would be one thing. There is a risk to every operation, but unless the mission's failure would lead to even more death, I would always prioritize their safety over success at any cost.
A commander who places everything on one soldier's back has already failed.

So you would prioritise their lives, unless there was a clear, immediate threat.

I can't imagine a situation where murdering one of my own soldiers would be acceptable.
It's a betrayal, and not one I could tolerate.
[ it's not the same thing as soldiers dying because of a mistake, even if she's not sure she could fully articulate why. ]
no subject
That would suggest that soldier's life was worth more than the mission.
It's not betrayal if that course of action is expected.
