If I was writing the endgame for the Section 31 arc, it would have had one of your options being something like...

"See, the reason I got into Starfleet was because I believe in its mission, its morals and its ethics. Your attitude here in 31, that whole thing that you make the hard decisions that get things done, morals and ethics be damned, is pretty much the _exact opposite_ of it. You go for the easy solution. Finding a way out of some of this shit in a way that doesn't leave hundreds of millions dead? That's hard. But you know what's going to be easy? Teaching you what we used to call back on K-7 the Klingon Shore Leave Fandango."
