Military historian perspective on TCW and the old EU novels about it: Yoda: Cares about his troops, bothers teaching them as individuals and learning about each individual of his little commando squad. Mace Windu: Cares about his troops, but admittedly, before he was brought to the order, did come from a world that was torn by war. Understands war as a concept, is willing to get his troops killed if that is the most effective means of winning a battle because he believes that it is better for soldiers to die than civilians. Incidentally, this is the standard of military command. Plo Kloon: Willing to risk his own life constantly to avoid casualties. Obi Wan: The show pretends its a different situation but honestly both it and the EU wind up portraying him (albiet with less intent) as about the same as windu. Anakin: Despite TCW meaning to say he's like Plo Kloon and well loved by his troops, I have no idea why his troops would like him. He cares about them until he gets emotional, and then he gets them killed in the dumbest ways possible - (and I don't mean tactically, Star Wars has never had the soundest grasp on strategy. I mean that Anakin does incredibly dumb shit that even Star Wars logic says can't work once he gets emotional or has some self-interest or conflict of interest involved in a battle.)
Sounds to me like most of the Jedi Order actually cared for the Clones' well-being, with the exceptions of that disgrace of a Jedi Pong Krell and the EU version of Quinlan Vos.
Unfortunately, some parts of the fandom bought into Karen Traviss' anti-Jedi BS from the Republic Commando novels, which created this huge misconception.
