It’s only unethical when it’s convenient for the enemy. I call it keeping the economy alive.

It's simple: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
It reduces the need for troops, you can reuse the enemies bodies, and you can recycle the gear between the bodies.

NPC: Will you all help me avenge my brother?
Fighter: you have my sword.
Ranger: and my bow
Necromancer: and your brother

You might be laughing now, but somewhere, a necromancer is preparing a powerpoint presentation.

IN MY DEFENSE, they signed the waivers, and I let their organs be donated to hospitals before I reanimated them.

I love how creating jobs can go 2 ways, the corpses or the people killing them both have a job

Also reanimated corpses are biodegradable and enviromental friendly (until they start killing the living things around him, but at least they don't eat them XD )

Strickly speaking: It's incredibly ethical. Imagine the lives that would be saved by using the mindless dead to fight. And the money you could save: They're already dead, no need to provide them proper protective gear. Don't need medics, either: They're, again, already dead.
I feel Necromancers would honestly be a *very* in-demand profession.

And the nice thing about the ETHICS of it all, animating corpses results in absolutely no loss of life!

Necromancers are the most resourceful generals

“You’re desecrating corpses!”
Necromancer: “clearly you’ve never made an omelet”

I wish there was a MC in a novel who used this. Like he creates a big enemy for his people but keeps it at a certain level. Creates jobs, makes use of waste, and generally is fun.

Necromancy is environmentally friendly.
Reduce, Reuse, Reanimate.

“I am recycling” Im sensing some strong Golgari logic here.

Hmmm... Well, I suppose this does mean gods will hire more paladins, clerics, and even druids.

You’re making it so less soldiers have to die in battle, so it is just helpful
