I used to like Jack, but this blatant disregard ofthe other peoples feelings about Julie leaves me feeling only one way about him......Maybe he is dumber than he looks. Time for someone to lead that cares for everyone. not someone willing to leave them behind. He was going to get on that sub and leave and to make himself feel better he tells himself he was going to send help..what a joke. in my book, he's a complete traitor. And one more thing.why hasnt the two people they let go on the boat (man and boy) sent help? have they all forgotten them?

I agree with you on some aspects. Although Jack is my favorite character, I feel that he's making a bad choice by letting Juliet come back with them. We don't know her true intentions yet so we cannot say that she is a bad person. We can only assume..He's bringing her back because she was left behind by her own people. He can't just abandon her now and let her roam the jungle when theres that crazy ass smoke monster out there. Her people probably took all the food and supplies too so she can't really fend for herself in the middle of the jungle. It is not in Jacks character or nature to leave anyone behind.
However, lately something doesn't add up. Jack and Locke are the two people that we would least suspect of betraying their own or even taking bribes. The others have obviously done something to Jack because his whole character and personality have almost flip flopped completely. The same goes for Locke. Kate keeps saying "what have they done to you?" and after that episode revealing the brainwashing station, I wouldn't be surprised if the others messed with Jack and Locke's head. We know that part of Jacks motivation for leaving the island was because of the whole kate and sawyer incident. He's fed up with the island and the people on it and he just wants out. But the way that he's been acting and more recently how Locke acted around Kate, is too surprising to be a coincidence. I know every man has his price but there's more to the reason behind their actions than just flat out abandonment and selfishness.
As for the comment about getting a leader that cares about the people. Jack was the one who put his neck on the line for so many others so he deserves more credit than that. He was pulling people out of the burning wreckage, tried to save boons life, resusitated charlie when he was hanged, and even after not wanting to be the leader he finally came to terms with what must be done and he took responsibility and leadership. After 90 days on the island it's very possible that he's sick of it all. He doesn't want to be this leader and he just wants to go back to his normal life and not be looked up to as mr. fix it.
