Context: Omega is some clone in this new animated show and she's a girl. I haven't watched it but the wiki is pretty clear about her being genetically unaltered. Also trans fem clones in the series are not unprecedented :thonk-trans:

You're right that that's the logic of war.
It's just also the reason that I think any kind of respect they treat the clones with is, not even secondary, FAR down the list in term of importance, and it doesn't do anything to change how I see this relationship. We're able to recognize that "but some slave owners treated their slaves well!" is complete bullshit in the real world, but why is this situation any different? The clones are slaves.
Agreed, but I would say that respect still exists. The Jedi are not off the hook for using them, but that being wrong does not make the Jedi more blaise about them dying because they are clones. The original immorality permeates every action, all without the Jedi acting particularly immoral in their actual treatment of clones. If they did throw them away or genuinely see them as lesser, then it would kinda be weaker than them knowing this is wrong and in the moment seeing them fully as people and part of the force, but compartmentalizing the immorality which is their downfall.
It is between the Jedi legit not caring, or caring genuinely but justifying it to themselves and entrenching them deeper into the web. I think that is way more accurate and interesting, though sadly underexplored.
Oh and here is a PDF with "equipment" if you are interested

it is from that period of clones being treated more like droids by writers, more unnerving. Stover is easily my fav star wars writer.
