..So she is still willing to risk people's lives. Not willing to risk the lives of the unwilling however.
Those soldiers risked voluntary their own lives, nobody forced them to do that. She even told them that it is risky. They even knew what happened to the last ships, because that's when Pavetta died, it was a suicide mission from the start and all of them knew that.
She could easily lie to them and use them, but she didn't.
Mages are not witchers, they are way more arrogant, treacherous and they are very skilled at lying and hypocrisy.
I agree, some of the other sorcerers are like that, but my point is she isn't and not once she showed that attitude, neither in the books nor in the game.
Not all witchers are neutral-good.
Lambert seeked revenge in the game, killing a man who put his past behind and started a new life.
Letho was hired for assasinations for his own school.
There was also a known school in the books, which witchers were hired for ANY job.
Still Geralt refused to kill a known assassin in the books and you can do the same at the end of Witcher 2.
