What i just realised is that it seems people are judging izumi like as if she is fully grown up. You have to keep in mind thay shes a kid! She's 15 it's not like she's got the same thinking capacity as a 20 year old has. That's why what she does is so imprrssive. I'm 20 and i'm having dificulties choosing whether or not i should have pizza or something healthy. Let alone making decisions over life or death.

There is allot of responsabillity resting on her shoulders. So much that allot of adults probably couldn't handle it. Lives depend on her actions, make a mistake people die. It's like how a sargeant has to devide what his squads next move is. If s/he makes the wronh decision it could be game over. Not many people can make choises like that even at a "ripe" age. Emagine yourself at 15. Could you have done it? I know i couldn't. Maybe she seems a bit cold at times because she has to make these kind of choises and she's afraid of failing. There is a reason why so many people like her, why her death scene was the most heart ripping moment in the anime,and why she has lot's of friends, or people comming to her for advice/guidance.

People are judging her from their own perspective (which i hope is atleast 18+ or you shouldn't have watched the anime in the first place) and that's not right. Ofcourse maybe you would have made different decisions or maybe you wouldn't who knows. But at the age of 15 these choices are impossible to make.

Izumi is very special and very brave for taking the role of head of countermeasures on her self. She might have to put up an act but it's not in her personality to be cold hearted.

Seing your best friend die like that. I would have snaped as well. When my pet rabbit died i was devistated for weeks. I would have to be put in a mental hospital if my best friend got killed.
