The character he played (Sobel) was really like that. He was an anal, ego-centric captain who himself was a serious incompetant pussy... but he "lived vicareously" through his troops that he trained to be the best.
Whether he seemed too much like Ross, I don't know... maybe the problem was that Sobel was unwittingly too much like Ross in the 40s
Maybe that's why they cast Schwimmer for the role. He even LOOKS like the real Sobel.
