If you are going to do war you should do it well. An AI commander could be programmed to maneuver troops in a way to reduce civilian casualties, reduce damage on infrastructure, and even maximize the chances of the enemy surrendering rather than having them killed. Of course, I doubt that an AI commander would replace a human making the actual decisions in the foreseeable future. It would just be another intelligence tool for military command. From this point of view you are essentially arguing for our military to be ignorant, I don't think that is a good bet.
