I see it as an inability to compose oneself.
For example say you're bum rushing Normandy beach. You can put your head beneath your legs and cry, and noone would blame you for it. If you're calm, collected and give confidence to others then you will be admired as a strong individual.
It's a choice between being human and being super human I guess. It's not surprising that most guys take the loaded-for-bear balls to the wall approach.
