I don't know if I can agree. They tried to stop Thanos, for the most part did everything right, and still failed. A for effort?
The plan seemed to be working. When it really started going south was when Wanda left Vision's side to join the battle.
As far as being an android, he is a member of the team. Several years ago I might have thought he's an android so it's less a life traded and more an appliance, but I've been watching too much Star Trek TNG on Netflix and Data to believe Vision doesn't have his own sovereignty over his body. Like Commander Data. The definition of life and sentience is always up in the air but it seems to me like Vision is alive, not just switched on. To end his program is to kill him, not just deactivate him. I think Rogers was right to say we don't trade lives because I believe Vision is alive. Or was.
I wouldn't say the Wakanda soldiers trader their lives, like some sort of military gambit. They died in the line of duty; it was lives well spent. A lot of people did. Their opponent was just too good.
