Admiral Lindy Harlaown pulls off a magnificent rebuttal to one of these in the Lyrical Nanoha fanfic Infinity at one point when she faces a Well-Intentioned Extremist who tries to pull this on her by appealing to her honor, morals and sense of duty as a Reasonable Authority Figure working for a government with corruption problems, the alternative being working for an imperialistic dictatorship with a Utopia Justifies the Means mindset. Lindy's defense of the TSAB?
Enlil: I am offering you the universe. And you are... you are seriously snubbing that in favor of an organization that regards you as expendable? For no reason other than... Lindy: You are an admitted military dictator and something of a hypocrite? That you claim the moral high ground despite claiming responsibility for murder, torture, and warmongering against peaceful worlds? Maybe it does result in a happy, shiny empire filled with joy and rainbows, but that is only because the people know that if they complain too loudly they'll be murdered. The TSAB might have many and significant flaws, but if nothing else, at least I can claim with certainty that those flaws do not change the fact that the organization as a whole exists for a purpose that I truly believe to be a noble one. You, on the other hand, appear to be offering a system that has some very significant flaws of its own, operates in pursuit of goals that most reasoning beings would consider abhorrent, and which you then attempt to put a positive spin on so that nobody will notice. And that, to me, seems like a very good reason. Vita: ...Daaaaaaaaaaaamn.

Rattigan had always been an outcast who had barely managed thanks to his exceptional intellect to reach a status in the mice's society but still suffered from the mice's prejudices against him.
