There are some situations where aid protocol is really useful actually.

First, aid protocol does not end your turn. If you specialist is in cover, wants to shoot at something and has nothing better to do with his other AP, then putting on aid protocol is actually a good thing.

Second, it is a way to get cover equivalents on people who do not have cover (like, spark guys). I also got the impression that aliens fire on aid protocolled units much less then they do on others, and I would often prefer 2 wounded over 1 dead soldier.

It did safe my rear end in the tower mission, since Mc.Stompy was very very focused on a certain mission critical unit.

It also was +40 defense, but I dont actually know what perks shen actually has. could have also been from long war.

Aid protocol scales with GREMLIN level (+20/+30/+40 defense), which is another reason I agree with Jade Star. I think Shen has a custom max level GREMLIN to go with her colonel tier abilities.

I've never quite understood the whole "we're subjugating you to combat a larger threat that would subjugate you even worse" stance aliens seem to love to take.

Like, you've studied humanity, you've seen how they react to poo poo. Why not just say hi and ask for help? Too much work?

Could just be imperialist self-justification. Many empires do not want to admit they just like to subjugate others. The Roman republic went out of it's way to ensure every war was a "defensive" war.
