I have read that Moore was hated by the troops he
commanded. I have only seen that once which tells me
that it is likely more bogus crap. No nonsense tough
leadership may not earn you ‘warm and fuzzies’ from
subordinates but it does prevent casualties.

My experience as an officer in a conscription Army was that a third of your troops carried more than their weight, a third carried their share, and those two carried the third that were dead weight.

When it came to the mission, a third would energetically go after it, a third would do what was expected and they had to make up for the third that had an attitude.

A corrolary was that if you did your job leading them, a third would follow you enthusiastically, a third willingly, and a third hated your guts.

See a pattern?

It doesn’t surprise me that with a little digging one could find troops that hated any and every officer.

Watch Bill Staehle's speech and watch the whole Rally for yourself.
It was GREAT!

Listen to the words of Judge Roy Moore's poem below
