I would've got you out of there. Put you under witness protection.
[Not that he thinks McCree would ever want to be under witness protection, but 76 imagines that Jack wouldn't have been angry if the situation was explained to him. Could have anticipated the mutiny a little better if someone on the inside had alerted him to how wrong things really were.
It's all easier to say in hindsight, however, as loath as he is to admit it. 76 still thinks that he could have prevented the disaster that Overwatch became, even if that meant taking the fall to save others the grief. He knows now that it wasn't just Blackwatch--it was Talon, too, and maybe even the UN, so McCree is right. Admitting that is hard.]
Maybe it wouldn't have been as bad as it got.
[If they'd been able to cut something off at the pass. He still can't accept that he wouldn't have been able to fix it, somehow.]
