Exactly. And right now, as you astutely put it the '115' is in the air, so he doesnt have unlimited resources at the moment and, his squad is ageing and with the 'Sword of Damocles 115' hanging over his head, he doesnt have the resources to just recycle and replace them all like he usually does.

So all of a sudden and for the first time ever his resources are limited and he's throwing a hissy-fit about it.
