quote:
Michael wasn't supposed to be a mafioso. Both Vito and Michael wanted Michael to be "legitimate". The war with the Tattaglias kept that from happening. THen Michael tried to start over in Nevada and become involved with legitimate industries, only to discover that the "respectable" world was dirtier than the Mafia.
If Michael had gone the route Vito mapped out for him, he would have been more respectable. He wouldn't have been a better person, just channeling his ruthlessness into more socially acceptable avenues.
One of the follow-on books talks about his Marine Corps experience a little bit. He was at Tarawa (if you accept the author's imagination). So he was no innocent college kid when it came to bloodshed.
