On every "battlefield" so far, Zero has risked his life. Just so you know though, the primary responsibility of a commander is to command, and that is what Zero does. In the last episode though, he was just as involved as any of the other "pawns."

Cornelia doesn't use her troops as pawns, they follow her willingly because she inspires them by leading the battles from the fronlines by actively fighting . And don't simplify things by saysin everyone does it like Zero does.
It is funny you say that right after describing the trap for Zero; Cornelia most certainly used her people as pawns in that setup, and many of them died for it.

Zero inspires his followers in a different way. Time after time, they are able to achieve what should be impossible. He has brought them hope, where formerly there was only despair. Some of them are rightfully terrified of a direct confrontation, but they are all following him of their own will.

The victory was only in the eyes of Bk and the Resistance. Zero didn't achive any vicotry since his primary goal was Cornelia.
Cornelia acknowledged it as her defeat. While Zero didn't get the information he was hoping for, it was far from a loss for him; one of the purposes was to show the people in Kyoto that they were worthy of support. Seeing as the BK almost single-handedly crushed a vastly superior force, they shouldn't be disappointed.

Any way you look at it, the BK have saved the JLF from certain destruction, and in no way can that be considered a loss.

Battle is what you make of it, and it can certainly be likened to a game.
