The way the question is worded, I say you green light the strike.

In reality, I think you say, "the chances of killing/apprehending the enemy might not come along every day, but they come along more often than the moment of someone's mortal death". As such, you make the decision with the less permanent consequences and hold your fire, hoping to get a shot at the enemy at a point in the future when the consequences (or "collateral damage" to use the military euphemism) aren't so dire. Plus, in the "real world" it's not like if you don't take out the command/control right now there's a guarantee of your folks dying as a result. That can normally be dealt with as a separate scenario.

Since that isn't an option in the hypothetical question (it's an either-or - either their people die or your people die), I say you let their people die. Your ultimate loyalty/responsibility is to YOUR people.
