@kumonani and her choice of telling the ripper swarm to kill all of them resulted in the direct foreseeable consequence of it dying. As opposed to scaring them off by slaughtering a few then summoning a swarm to kill the rest.
Similar, but not quite the same as how the slave trader bandits desire to rape ALSO lead them to dying.
Sure, she was overcome with emotion, but that's just as equally a failing when commanding people to live or die for you.
Getting mad over a foreseeable consequence of your orders is the sign of a bad commander. If you tell an individual soldier to attack a group of armed enemies - to even ambush them - if he dies, that's on you. That's your responsibility. It doesn't matter if the enemy are civilians with pitchforks or literal devils from hell, you are the one who sacrificed him.
At that point, if you go "Damn these devils/civilians I was trying to butcher! How dare they DEFEND THEMSELVES instead of lying down and being butchered! THEY DID THIS I'LL KILL THEM ALL!!!!!" that is just shifting blame. That is avoiding responsibility.
Sometimes it still needs to be done - good generals will give orders knowing they are sacrificing their people to get the job done. But it is ALWAYS their responsibility, and they will strive to make sure that it is worth the cost paid in blood.
