Foot soldiers don't get the luxury of choice, not at her level. It's why she will remain a foot soldier and never be trusted to lead much more than this high ideal of hers.
When you are called to war, you act on it. You have chosen first to be a part of that unit and in choosing you also chose to obey, honour and fight alongside those same vampires.
You don't get to fuck off just because you later decide it's not your thing. You give them the respect they deserve as comrades. Your honour, your obligation is first to them and once you have fulfilled that obligation then you can step aside and make conscience decisions based on 'Ideals'.
But NOT, absolutely NOT in the middle of a conflict. Have enough respect for the first oath you gave to the unit, uphold that, then maybe you can step away when it is a better time.
The measure of any person happens at the time of great conflict. Ones ability to stick with shit is tested at these times and walking away with a mediocre excuse of 'Ideals' is crap.
It's regurgitated horse shit. Flowery worded fecal matter dressed pretty in order to hide the stink of her cowardice.
Well said.
