You've GOT to be kidding--Galanti not TOUGH enough to take a few questions from Kiss Matthews? What do you think torture means--cramming for a GMAT? Get "Return with Honor" at your video store; and then tell me these guys aren't tough enough to appear under the bright lights.
I didn't say Commander Galante wasn't tough enough for anything - I'm sure in every meaningful way he's infinitely tougher than Matthews. Being able to fend off nasty verbal abuse being delivered in rapid-fire fashion, with the clear objective of creating confusion and taking advantage of it, is by no means the same thing as being tough.
I haven't the slightest question that Matthews couldn't hold a candle to any of these men, characterwise. Doesn't mean all of them are trained or equally suited temperamentally to do this kind of battle. Mr. Galante was very thoughtful and measured in his responses, and took his time in answering. That's a good thing - but it can be taken advantage of by a conjob like Matthews.
