Was Stryker's team soldiers?

I ask because Wolverine just kills a lot of them. Men who are doing what looks to be a job for their country. I know the other arguments and all. They should have questioned orders when they started taking children etc. . . But Logan just outright killing them when they were using non lethal force and all, mostly.

He also killed Deathstrike who was under mind control all movie.

They knew the kids were mutants and therefore "dangerous." None of them seemed to be surprised when kids ran through walls, screamed loud enough to break glass, etc.

But Logan just outright killing them when they were using non lethal force and all, mostly.

Which is it?

I think they were mercenaries.

But Logan just outright killing them when they were using non lethal force and all, mostly.

The first one he encountered pointed a gun at Bobby and fired real bullets. From there, after he got loose, he tried to kill Logan with a knife.

That was enough for Logan to know they needed to die. It's simply a matter of self-defense.

And that is a great point. But this question still stands: were they soldiers, or were they mercs?

[–] justanicknamed 8 years ago

It makes no difference. If they were soldiers, then they have no right to take non-combative US citizens into custody. And, they weren't taking them into custody. They were attacking them.

They're a black ops team kidnapping children. Wolverine saw no other option. He knows what it's like to be experimented on.

You are sin.

Regardless, the face-paint they wore were absolutely badass.
