Seriously, the biz is not anything if not all shades of Grey. Even Nick Fury has his shadier moments.
One, the M of Brosnan's era and the M of Dan's era are two different characters. Two, Silva crossed his operational line by endangering his service and M traded him for six more competent and trust worthy agents who could follow orders. What happened to him after that was out of her hands.
Though, I agree to an extent that things are more grey than black and white in Dan's era, but it isn't a new idea at all.

I seriously considered it, but thought I'd rather keep my soul and avoid lying to the faces of my loved ones at the end of the day. The only way I would even remotely go into the business is if my life had no more meaning or purpose and taking the job would be a last resort where I could at least be put to good use. Fitting, considering it is indeed a death sentence.
I applied for MI6 once (didn't get it) but to be honest I'm glad. The money is an absolute joke. It appealed to my romantic notions of being Bond and protecting the country etc and I think that's how they get away with offering such woeful money to people. Bond is the greatest recruitment ad ever.
Seriously I currently do not a lot at work and spend half my time on here but the wages they were offering would be almost half what I'm for doing that!
Insightful comments, @TheWizardOfIce, and I agree fully. Bond really is the best recruitment the MI6 or MI5 services could have ever hoped for. And it really is a shame that those who get in the field and do all the dirty work get the least pay, barely a fraction of what the higher ups make who sit behind a desk all day. Truly shameful. But of course the governments will also act like the field agents never existed if any of them are caught, so why would they bother shelling out money for them? I expect most in the position to be at the end of the road in their life anyway, where they feel no real purpose so the money isn't really a big worry of theirs. But I can't speak for all of them, of course.
