His frustration is greatly warranted. They weren’t acting up to the standard that an Army Officer should and were incompetent. He was trying to make it clear the standards they should be living up to/his disappointment through his behavior. The situations with certain officers who were toxic/bad leaders like the 3rd PLT leader who slept and almost got him and another killed is just one example same with the CO’s behavior.

If the 3rd PLT PL and RTO had been awake to receive information, if they had planned and discussed this together earlier and made sure their subordinates knew said plan (ex. pass phrase, signal they were approaching). The 3rd PLT PL and RTO should’ve passed on their responsibilities to whoever was awake on duty and informed them of what was going on so they could’ve acted in their stead.</p>

Morale. Morale is completely important. I’ve been in situations where the morale was decided on my interactions with others. It makes life easier if a positive environment/aura is out there. It gives you a reason to keep going to push through the suck. Negativity drags everyone down and makes people less willing to do anything. Even in the worst of situations there needs to be a shining light at the end of that tunnel. Something to let you know it gets better. Something to strive for something to fight for. Morale is the key to success. Succeeding through adversity. Morale wins and loses wars.
