Cussing out your team during a briefing and telling them they “should be taken out and shot” doesn’t really foster a healthy work environment or loyalty.

After voicing several obscenities at his subordinates during a briefing, Lt. Gen. John F. Mulholland Jr. was investigated by the Department of Defense and shuffled out his special operations position. Witness accounts now available through the Freedom of Information Act said Mulholland was angry to the point of being “uncontrollable.”

So how exactly did this meeting go down?

Task and Purpose provides the most succinct summary.

Less than a minute into the meeting, Mulholland remarked that “this is not f— ing right,” according to the report. This continued throughout the 50-minute meeting, with Mulholland allegedly using the f-word “about five times” and saying that he would “fire all of you motherf—kers,” during the meeting in order to “to punctuate his comments.”

Mulholland was furious that the briefing failed to follow the instructions that he and the top officer in command, Adm. William McRaven, had provided, reports The Washington Post.

Witness accounts say that Mulholland told team members they “should be taken out and shot,” and Mulholland reportedly admitted that he may have said something similar to that.

Mulholland also claims that he ended the meeting by telling his peers, “I love you guys.” Somehow, this didn’t make the people who attended that meeting feel any better.

The officer did apologize to the people who filed a complaint against him. It’s unknown whether the Army will take any disciplinary action.
