Has anyone... actually apologized for HYDRA before? It seems counter-productive. HYDRA isn't sorry, so why would anyone else being sorry have anything to do with it? The Soldier decides not to wrestle with that, and just gives the answer to Rosinante's question instead. "Assassinate, hunt down deserters, retrieve items. Sometimes protect important members of HYDRA. Train others I think." That one is less protocol-certainty, and more know-but-don't-remember. The Soldier has another long pull from the cigarette, which is almost gone, dammit. "Mostly assassinate, though."
