Moore was perceived to be reckless, but very strict. He insisted his troops salute him on the battlefield, despite official training which discourages such behavior because salutes can identify an officer to enemy targeting.[24] Some of his soldiers gave him the derogatory nickname "Captain America", due to his attitude toward discipline.
