I had come away with a different impression after her conversation with Momo about choosing the military as a career. It sounded like she was a run-of-the-mill AI who thought she should serve her country.
If someone in the QC world is designing people with personality traits to adapt them to being members of a combat team then the ethical issues are intense.

My assumption was that she was part of some DARPA program akin to BigDog, and the whole bit about AIs being people came up literally during/in the middle of her development and/or deployment.
She wasn't, legally, a person when she was built and embedded with her squad; she was by the time whatever remained of it got decomissioned/mustered out.

So assuming that GreyCreep is a mouthpiece for a collective intelligence:
I think that GC was assembled for this one task. The snarkiness is an expression of resentment at being diverted from more interesting business. Once the mission at hand is completed, the vacated chassis will collapse into its component parts. After all, they have better things to do.

If the component parts are the size of, say, individual molecules, I don't imagine there'll be anything left that May could use...
