Hawkins' morality

Hey y'all, I thought I'd start a new topic to try and get people chatting about the amazing CHARACTERS again. I tried posting this on JRP and got no repsonse whatesoever even though it's been a week.

Now we all know that at heart, Hawkins is extremely heroic and moral, loving freedom and patriotism more than anything. But I can't ingore the fact that he had taken many risks and done many "immoral" things in an effort to help the greater good. He shot that FBI kid, and i perosnally thought that was reasonable *can't believe I'm saying that!!!* given the situation. But some of Hawkins' actions do seem unnecessay, such as burning that house in "Oversight" and killing an innocent in doing so. Being the genius we know he is, couldn't he have found another way to pass the information to Beck without burning somebody to death in their bed?

Also the question of killing Constantino (2.1) raises a lot of interesting thought. The different viewpoints of the characters is interesting...Eric is too angry to care about morality, Hawkins does not see anything wrong with revenge killing except that it could potentially blow his own cover and that of Jake's, while Beck and presumably Johnston believe that revenge killing is totally wrong. It's an age-old question, and very controversial I think.

What do you all think? Do you find this valuable?
