hang on a second while I turn off my trick question alarm

Ok. I'm back.

UT, dude, you're crystal clear on the importance of context, and you're a sharp reader too. You know that HM's actions would be his own, and you likewise know that the definition of "bad guy" *DOES NOT* come from HM, but from the foreign army. Those were the conditions in HM's example, and they neatly match the conditions in Iraq.

So, why the trick question: "Would you be a bad guy?" It's not up to him to say, is it? Ask the foreign army.
