[The people he made them--but really, did he have that much to do with it? They were part of Overwatch because they believed in something greater than themselves. For all the talk about Jack's uncanny ability to bring out the best in his team, it often feels like he didn't have to do much work in that department.
That's what makes all this hard. They deserve so much better than anything he can possibly give them.]
Didn't go into it wanting to lie to them. [Even if that's what he did, but it's a more complicated issue than Jack waking up one morning and deciding he was going to fake his own death. He hadn't been given much of a choice in the matter, really.] Wanted to give them some plausible deniability. It was the only way for them to get on with their lives.
