I actually picked this one up. I don't understand how the X-men aren't villains. That was vile. "For the good of the country" isn't good enough. And Hank going to 'we have to kill them all or else they will eventually become Omega Sentinels' is several massive leaps of logic, and its frankly the kind of logic the crazy racists usually use to justify wiping out mutantkind.

This is quite a few steps beyond 'questionable'. And Jean snapping at him doesn't change the fact that she still helped and did was she was told. Hell, she probably already knows everything because of her powers. If this is the kind of thing they're going to be doing on a regular basis, then I can't wait until Krakoa burns to the ground.

Hank: "Welp, time to mess up South America, I guess."
In fact, the issue had me listen to the Fugs again.

X-Force is exempt from the laws established by Krakoa. Their entire premise is doing shady things to keep the Island, and its people safe. It's always going to be about things like this. Also, this idea isn't even unique to Krakoa. X-Force has been a black-ops team for a number of iterations.

LOL. You thought they were villains before you picked it up.
These aren't the X-Men. Different book. It's an X-Force book featuring Beast. It lines up with past X-Force books, which have always been morally ambiguous, and past portrayals of Beast, who's been closer to a villain than hero for years.
