Just trying to clarify exactly what it was you actually meant is all.

but if she had obeyed an order 3 soldiers wouldn't have been wounded
I take your wider points, but not sure that your quote above can be necessarily correct. The attack was pre-planned with several co-ordinated bomb blasts going off throughout the city. The bomb that wounded the 3 servicemen would have gone off regardless of whether she rushed forward or not, and who knows - maybe by rushing forward she changed a course of events that might otherwise have resulted in a whole lot more being wounded or killed (you know, the 'butterfly flapping its wings in China' effect). Just a thought.
