This was from a couple episodes ago, but why did the smarty glasses officer guy have a sweat drop on his face when talking about the plan to blow up the enemy? Did I miss the part where he's a pacifist of a spy or something?

Because Tanya consistently describes victory in terms of total annihilation of the enemy and he's from a military tradition that is only just barely coming around to the modern conception of warfare. Plus she just constantly sounds really happy and enthusiastic about killing people.

Being concerned about Tanya's sociopathic tendencies is not a "misunderstanding" lol

she'd turn on any of her soldiers in a heartbeat if they stopped being useful tools, and wouldn't feel the slightest remorse over it either, which is exactly what got her killed in her previous incarnation

it's possible that Being X hit on a good idea, and her experiences in this life are having a positive effect on her, but there's still plenty of evidence to her worse side

it's also possible that's she's just utterly self-interested and pragmatic, rather than or at least before being a sadist, and commissaring the guy wouldn't have actually advanced her in any way
