Actually, I think you misunderstand Wolverine. Everyone expects him to do the things nobody else would do. And he feels responsible. Like X-Force did what it did so that the X-men's hands would remain clean. Similarly Wolverine is under pressure to do certain things that have to be done, so that Cap and the other can stay clean.

What makes i interesting for me is that THEY know it to be so and they WANT it to be so, but won't admit it (even to the point of scolding Wolverine) and HE doesn't want it to be so, but won't admit it.

So he does bad stuff cause everyone expects him to make the hard choices but they're all uncomfortable with the arrangement, because deep don inside they all know that Logan is being used so that others can have a clean conscience.
