Why take it out on the troops at all? And they deserve a "Vaya con Dios" or a simple "Adios" among the farewells.

well, sometimes troops gotta suck it up (like being told to retreat during battle, ala Spainish troops) - but it would get coverage and a very overt demonstration of displeasure.

Agree on the simple Adios, but I might provide a big Payaya with some gulf shrimp on the tarmack.
