I'm afraid he is implying what you (and I) think he is implying...

Yes reconcider! Today's crash-test-dummies are perfect for crashes like
this, I can recommend some SW battledroids for testing. You can even see
where to potential hazards are since their bodyparts can come apart quite
easily. Also it is possible to gather data from them about pressure,
gravitational forces, impact forces and a lot of other data that cannot be
gathered from dead bodies.
Sending a lot of minifigs to their death will expose you to a lot of bad
publicity, especially when there are other options! Secrets like this will
always surface someday (I can see the headlines: "Government send Seals to
their death!" and "Secret newsposting revealed:'To them it will be another
training flight...'").
If I were you I would use SW Battledroids as crash dummies and earn the
respect of your seals as 'the guy who made our helicopters more safe'. Hmm
that definitely sounds better than 'the guy who killed our fellow seals'.
