I don’t get it. He said gripe to his superior but he is basically kissing ass?

I interpreted it to mean that he was still Captain and part of his job was to keep up morale and model positive attitude.

All this was understood by his men.

I’d add that the answer was clearly over the top, thus sarcastic, thus he is agreement with his soldiers.

Too much my experience as well. Inside AWS felt like hundreds (thousands?) of Indians who have terrible jobs but don't do anything about it. Now that I'm out I can't believe what I put up with.
Perhaps you could present yourself as worthy through your work, rather than bemoaning that others as worthy were more conducive to being treasured employees?

every employment should be at will!! is there a constitutional or birthright to employment at XYZ company? these discussion always look at one side, like “employer can’t fire employee X without paying severance and other junk” but if I started a company and said “if you leave the company you have to pay severance back to the company for leaving” everyone would be up in arms about it…
I live in a US state that has at-will employment. I once had an owner of a small business threaten to sue me for quitting because it would cause financial harm to the business. And that was with giving 4 weeks notice. At-will employment laws protect employees that want to quit, not just employers that want to fire.
Does your unemployment insurance work after you quit? Or does it only work when you're fired?
