This also puts his own service members in danger if they're captured.
He has no interest in anyone else's wellbeing, not even that of his own forces. He's just interested in making himself look macho while others die because of him.

Legal officers would explain that more dispassionately and technically but many members of his forces might explain clearly and at length if given the opportunity.
And some duct tape.
The legal officers were useful.
@FediThing @DrALJONES of course. And this same analysis applies to pretty much anyone who's ever been in charge of a war where their country wasn't the victim of an invasion. The people who get to decide what happens are never the cannon fodder, and never really give a shit about the soldiers' well-being
