Well, against your defense, Pierce was more than eager to continue the fight when it was interrupted, potentially prolonging the situation and making it worse. ^^;

Renny didn't blame anyone specifically (much in line with your defense). He mainly expressed to Kurika his sympathy, not knowing how to explain it, and trying to help her out. He is one of the higher ranking members of the group, (feels a sense of responsibility) and he can't explain to her why she was given the particular order she was given. He knows that the situation was intense and that people weren't ignoring her out of malice (or so he thinks). But that she had such a misfortune was indeed regretable. The only thing that makes Renny high-horse like at all is that he thinks that it could have been prevented and that the order was morally and tactically questionable. (And you think that he is right on that.)
