I think the general's point stands, though.

No matter what ethical system you might be using (to decide whether to turn over control of a combat situation to AI), the enemy might be using a different one, and come to different conclusions; and that in turn affects what conclusions you should come to.

This is actually a decision theory issue; and that's something that military strategists do study.
