Juliana has got to be the most stupid person on the planet (Spoilers)

Letting Joe Blake go despite the resistance telling her he was a Nazi spy? She must have felt stupid when they told her later he went to Berlin with the film. Just because she had feelings for him? To help an enemy agent instead of helping one's own country men?

Then..... she kills George Dixon. Granted she was shaken up from the resistance trying to kill her. But to save a kid with a terminal illness? Shot her dad's friend who helped her and her parents in the back?

Man, if everyone was as emotional as her and didn't use their brains all wars and resistance movements would be lost. She single handedly if unintentionally did more damage to the resistance than Nazi or Kempeitai.

She's basically the opposite of John Smith. If John Smith shows amazingly cunning, she's a typical emotional fool.

well its either let him go or get him killed with blood on her hands. Juliana wont want that since Joe is not a villian like that Marshall.

Dixon kinda betrayed her as he broke the deal so he deserved to be shot.

Also there arent clear cut bad guys and good guys, look at the Resistance they will still carry out their attacks even though they knew the Kempeitai will retaliate by killing innocents.

Yeah we know that because we can see his character broken down by the show. She's just met him for two weeks, she knows nothing about him. For all she knows he could be an agent sent in to earn her trust. She knew he was a Nazi but let him go, putting her feelings before duty to her country.

This happened numerous times in the real world with European resistance against the Nazis. and Chinese resistance against the Japanese. What's the resistance supposed to do? Do nothing, and let the occupying force take over?
