This is very true. Painfully so. And he's starting to realize this, too; he's starting to think more for himself, which is so yay! and heartbreaking at the same time, you know?
But when Dean says that protecting Sammy is his job, I don't really get all that annoyed (and I don't think Sam gets especially worked up, either) because Dean's mindset keeps him very task-oriented. For instance, if Nathan were to say that protecting Peter was his job, I don't think it would sit as well. You know?
