Spoiler for Asuna:

No, she didn't get inside UW.

Also,going by what has been shown, it looks like Asuna's getting a chance to shine. Awesome.

I'm a bit disappointed by the JSDF being this assholish though, i was hoping for a more positive portrayal. Ah, well, could be a splinter faction.

Spoiler for Adding to kyp's explanation:

To be fair, the military had cutting edge medical equipment, if Kirito was treated at a normal hospital he would have been stuck in a coma for who knows how long. They took him at least half out of humanitarian reasons, the other half though, yeah they want him to help influence AIs.

Spoiler for Actually:

No. Asuna figured out their plan was to make unmanned weappns and the AIs behind it, and Kirito has the same knowledge. According to Asuna, she had a conversation on the 56th Floor of Aincrad with Kirito about the rights of AIs and Kirito treated the NPCs in SAO like they were alive and had their own life. Kirito would have never agreed to help make AIs if there's a possibility of them being turned into weapons, and he actually cares about the rights of the AIs. The JSDF and Kirito's handler are of the opinion tens of thousands of AIs can die but it still can't match the value of a real human's life (AIs life isn't 'real' in their view), but Kirito might disagree. Other front line fighters in SAO laughed about this when Kirito mentioned his views, but even so Kirito still believes that.

Yes.
