** The prequel comics and hotline Miami 2 imply that they only do it to people who have signed up for the 50 blessings newsletter, and since there are several veterans of the russo American war within 50 blessings, there'd be no shortage of members capable of violence, the real question is how low their standards are considering the presence of jake and richer who seem to have no military training or previous skill in the criminal underworld like jacket and biker did.

** Also, at that point in the story, Jacket has assassinated politicians and fought off cops; he's not just 'hot', he's positively radioactive. The cops are onto him too; they're at his apartment in time to save him, despite Richter shooting him with a ''silenced'' gun, indicating they're to some extent aware of who he is.

** They had to send him to Phonehom in an emergency. While he injured/drove off Biker, they have no way to debrief him and determine he didn't see anything he shouldn't have seen; as far as they know, he's on to them.

*** Why? Judging by the Colonel's dialogue elsewhere in Hawaii, it's quite clear he loves his men and has huge respect for them. Jacket fought alongside him in a war America lost. Why even use Jacket like that? It seems to me that the Colonel would want Jacket as a high-ranking killer of his operation rather than seeing him as a disposable pawn.

** My guess is that the Colonel (who's implied to have formed 50 Blessings) realized that Jacket was present when he went nuts, wore a skinned panther's skin as a mask and declared that all humans were just violent animals. While every other member of his squad was dead, Jacket could still eventually connect that night with the violent, sometimes patriotic assaults by people in animal masks, and decided to get rid of him before that happens.

* In the missions where you play as The Soldier, you would expect him to pick-up an enemy gun after running out of ammo for his weapons. However, he is forced to search for the scarce ammo crate or use his knife even though using a fallen enemy's gun would give him a far better chance at survival. So... why doesn't he just pickup a fallen gun again?
* Even though Dennaton Games announced this installment is the GrandFinale of the series, [[spoiler:TheStinger shows a menu screen for ''Hotline Miami 3.'']] Is this supposed to be a parody of cliffhangers or have they [[spoiler:lied to the players by planning on making another game after all?]] Make up your minds!
