I see no problem with that. The killed don't care who took the decision. And we could tune the AI to be as trigger happy as we like it to be. So if you want strict rules of engagement - program them. If you want to cry havoc and unleash the dogs of war - ditto. The moral decision is still yours but as standing order, you ignore couple of middlemen.

Or rather than being trigger happy they could have higher standards for targeting than even the ICRC suggests. Leave the cook instead of shooting him as a combatant. Shoot to disable rather than kill. Use less lethal weapons even in a real war if appropriate. Deliberately take 90% casualties in order to minimise civilian or even enemy casualties.
