In point of fact, the reason she tells her squad not to worry about the ethics of the situation is that the responsibility rests on her and their superior officers. This mirrors the classic Nuremberg defense that "I was only following orders". And we know how that turned out.

Remember, in episode 2 she established her belief that war is an unproductive and evil act. Regardless, by making a rather clear, but not direct, statement against orders to attack the city in that way it makes her appear as a more humane type of officer - and we've already seen how much effort she puts into her image.
