There are a couple of places in the book (and I remember one
in the previous book, too), where McGee gets in a bad mood,
sulks, and then realizes (or Meyer tells him) that his noble
notions and tarnished knight self-image give him hang-ups
just like everyone else, and he's being a silly ass. He might
laugh it off, or he might brood on it a bit and acknowledge
he's found another flaw in himself. That introspection is
something I always liked about the books.
