Yakomaru seems to also like to expend his own troops on practically suicide missions just to accomplish objectives such as distractions to eliminate single targets. This is a War Crimes poster boy.
Also, the show itself seems to be willing to do anything, including toss characters away quite viciously and quickly. Yet unlike anime such as Another, it does so with great efficiency and precision in the storytelling. I'm quite impressed and wonder if we're going to have some UC Gundam Style conclusions near the end.
