Apparently, the military leadership in Call of Duty has no problem committing war crimes or assassinating people, but they draw the line at kidnappings.

Yet, in a previous mission the orders were to capture him or kill him. After catching this person, Modern Warfare 2's protagonists are told their captive must be let go because holding him would be illegal. In one mission, players completely obliterate countless Mexican army and cartel members in an attempt to capture someone. Modern Warfare 2 suffers from serious jumps in logic throughout the entire campaign.

In real life, this would be an Earth-shaking political scandal, but in Modern Warfare 2, foreign forces murdering American citizens on American soil is brushed off and never mentioned again. In one mission, Mexican special forces cross the border, break into Americans' homes, and kill them when they try to defend themselves. The campaign is full of problematic story beats, with Modern Warfare 2's supposed heroes committing all kinds of crimes and general atrocities.
