To be fair, there is a certain kind of henchman-let's call them numbers 21-24. (;)) These guys are just barely competent enough to get assigned missions, very good at surviving them, and have no illusions as to their abilities in a fight. Basically, they know they're nameless mooks. They've been around the block a few times! They know they're nerds and 30-something guys who still live with their moms. They know they have not a chance in hell of fighting off the people they've been told to. So they fake it, switch nametages with the dead, and crawl off to compare bruises.
