I didn't catch it first time around, but she's deliberately killing both of them, by keeping both of them beside the dropship when it explodes. She's sacrificing her life on the word of someone she met 30 seconds ago. Hero.

Oh, nice. I didn't catch that, either. I'll watch for it this time around.

And it really does highlight how often they use the motif of showing something for the first time, and then having Cage do or say something to show it's not his first time there.

Yes. I love how little handholding the script does for its audience; how it trusts the viewer to hit the ground running and move as fast as its characters can. It was just so much smarter than I'd expected it to be. I love when that happens. Pacific Rim (2013) was very much the same way.
