I don't think it's possible to not feel bad about some of the stuff you do in Spec-Ops. The whole experience is an uncomfortable and depressing one especially when you take into account just who you're fighting.
If I ever could point someone to a game that completely deconstructs its genre it would be that one. A masterpiece of design if I ever experienced one. It's only flaw is its short campaign. A well justified sale buy for sure.
