If she had evacuated the camp the Mountain Men would've known that someone was inside the mountain, and Bellamy would have died. Then the 47 would've had their bone marrow harvested until they died, the grounders trapped inside would've died. The alliance between the grounders and the sky people probably would've ended. And once the Mountain Men got out to the ground what do you think they would've done? They probably wouldn't have joined up with the other people on the ground and made friends with them.

The only thing Clarke could do was follow Lexa out of the camp and try and regroup and restrategize after the missile hit. She sacrificed the few in the camp to save everyone else. In the end, they're fighting a war, hard choices have to be made and in such a small amount of time. It's not like she let the missile cause that much death for fun, she didn't want it to happen, but it was the lesser of two evils.

Yes, what happened was horrible, absolutely terrible, but they have to win this war. If Clarke had done anything else the war would be lost and everything they've done up to this point would be for nothing.

Yeah, I know they needed Bellamy to live to be their inside man but still... It wasn't right. They could have done something more to stop people from dying. Like, they could have told everyone to "go hunt for food" or "go train for the battle" in the woods (everybody would have left Tondc and would have been safe from the missile). Also, Clarke still had some of her people there, too. Octavia is Clarke's friend and she was at Tondc but Clarke didn't even think to tell Octavia to leave camp.

I also don't understand Clarke's way of thinking. She was thinking "Sacrfice the few to save the many" when she let people die from the missile to save her friends in Mount Weather. However, when Jaha wanted to leave the 47 to die and leave for the City of Light in order to save the many at Camp Jaha, Clarke didn't do it. She was willing to let the people at Camp Jaha risk their lives and possibly die so that her friends could live. Also, Clarke was willing to let evrybody at Camp Jaha fight the Grounders and most likely die just to save Finn, one person. So, why is it only now that Clarke decides to "Sacrfice the few to save the many?" Why didn't she think that way before in previous situations?
