Having seen many horrible things in my time in the military people become less emotional during tough times not more. Emotional extremes prevent people from being able to do their jobs. This is not to say people don't break. They do. However when that happens they are no longer able to do their jobs.
If you can't keep it in check you are removed.
BSG is not realistic at all. Humans do not bevaive that way under extreme stress successfully.

Absofriggin'lutely...
Hell even at work, the last two years have been absolute hell, and its been 2 years of hanging on by our fingernails. It's been a progressively tougher, and if I was handed 2 years ago what I've been handed in the last two months, I'd have been a cheerio-crybaby myself. After the first two seasons of total death and destruction, he'd be even more hardened. And like has been said, if the dude snaps, then he's done, pure and simple.
But I will say this... this is a thread I plan on making sure my wife or her friends never see, because jesus christ we're dorks... I would NEVER hear the end of it.
