I'm sorry, but any Officer worth his salt knows this is exactly the wrong way to motivate the troops. There's nothing wrong with a good old fashioned dressing down, but to go beyond that is conduct unbecoming.

Abusing the troops under your command physically or mentally can and should get the CO relieved post haste.

Maybe so; but, the sissies didn't need to cry either. What wimps!!! I hope they didn't know any military secrets. If they had been captured by the enemy they wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes.

You can cry through frustration as well, I have now and again, and I aint a wimp.

Some crying may occur against one's will, but I agree with you, I do not like when some cannot take the abuse for fellow officers, which is what the military is all about. Now Christ did cry, but they were tears of blood, which were for the others.

...actualy it were sweat of agony of blood, not tears. But He did forgive the prostitute who was forgiven a lot and crying on His feet because "she loved much".
