Since there is no detectable sentient life outside of humanity only we are able to determine its value

And that value is determined by the harsh mistress of the invisible hand

Hellfire missile runs about $145K a pop, you're not supposed to let them off the rail unless you have a probable on atleast 8 enemy combatants, a very high value target or used for immediate defense and support of friendly assets. So some folks are worth $145K if they're all Super-Insurgent, but only worth $18,125 if not. I'm guessing twitter activists are prized under even the 18K estimate though, thanks to slacktivism and all.

Say that you kill a high-value guy like Osama who's worth at $10,000,000 bounty. Can they make the difference payable in Hellfires that you can just shoot off whenever you feel like it?

No but always carefully assess what someone can and can't do for you now or in the future, some people that seem superfluous and useless can be surprisingly useful for you in the future, especially with years of building a relationship with them that doesn't benefit you in any way at the moment. Many times it works the opposite way though, people that appear useful are just wasted energy because they can't do anything of value for you for various reasons.

They always say one in the hand is better than two in the bush but sometimes it's more important to have the two in the bush waiting for when you need to use them.

Should the average goon mourn the loss of human lives, when the value and even objective reality of human "life" cannot be established?

the average goon only values his life and that of whoever he's playing video games with at a given time.
