Still, if he found himself in that situation, having to choose between Rin and Konoha somehow he must have screwed up.
The bold part is exactly what I am afraid Kishimoto will use to pull an excuse out of his ass.
When Obito was in Kirigakure (I don't think it's a coincidence he was there, since they sent the mist shinobi after his friends), he met Kisame for the first time. And he said something like "I can trust you, because you carried out nasty missions for the sake of your village, even missions of betrayal. You know this world is nothing but lies". And continued to speak quite lowly of "disposing your comrades".
It could be that Kakashi had to go through something similar and was following orders that day, even though he tried to avoid it as long as he could.
