What if it in the end it doesn't matter because they're about all with the beast heart and mind?
What if the path to victory dictates a need for a lack of discrimination to some extant?
Hey, I will not heavily judge someone who got pushed past their breaking point, just on an overall thing, you get better morality points for punishing the guilty than you do for punishing the distant third party persons somewhat associated with the guilty.
I think a lot of that though also has to do with identification of willful collaborators and those who self-identify with the enemy.
Imagine going to a gun show and seeing some dickweed wearing a T-Shirt with a fanpic of Lon Horiuchi holding a sniper rifle with some catch phrase like "Here's one for Sara", and you hear dickweed talking all hard about trying out to be an FBI agent, wants to go shoot "domestic terrorists", is shopping for a good deal for an HS Precision sniper rifle because that's what his favorite hard core killer has used.
You find out he is a "fed" but just a guard at a local low security federal prison. Not really guilty of anything, but well, by association, definitely putting it all out to be a "part of the team".
Come one now, wanna skip the niceties and just stomp the fool?
That's why it is hard to judge these things from a distance.
