I'm not sure how you can blame Clarke for the bombing. If she had exacuated 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.
