Can we cut the crap? Lol, all this patriotism. ugh...
You're kind of making MC ot wrong btw. You say he does everything to protect mankind, but you don't understand the military.
He does what hes ordered, he may love humanity, but if he's ordered to activate a Nuclear bomb in a elementry school yard, he will do it. He'll think about it afterwards, but he won't hesitate. He won't say "Sir, is this wise?" He won't say "Sir, theirs children in their." Nope, he'll just do it, then feel liek crap for doing it afterwards.
So please, don't pass him off as the ultimate american hero who will do anything to protect humanity.
