It is a situation where being physically or mentally unable to do your job properly will get someone else killed.
If those who have signed up for the wrong job aren't removed or forced to shape up, people will die.

That's the fundamental driving force behind behavior as BigDon has described, and that is why it's entirely appropriate behavior in that time and place.
