I'm guessing this story doesn't acknowledge the DDP

, right? well, we must admit it's pretty difficult to fit the BAF "nazis" with the DDP "Well intentioned extremists", it's like making Red Skull and Magneto work together (difficult, not impossible; it works if well written).
Or... maybe Flint earned

's hate after his intervention on this

operation, so years later he ordered Dela to murder old Dashiell's wife. Yes, they killed a lot of other Joes, but why keeping Flint alive then? They wanted him to suffer.
PS: Flint looks like

when near the fireplace.
