She may be that way and unable/unwilling to change, but that just makes her a poor leader. being unable to sympathies, and taking a my way or the high way approach can end up costing you your allies. Not to say that you don't need a back bone as well, but insulting something you know is very valuable to someone then making a joke about their dead son isn't going to make them say "huh you know you're right", it's going to make them punch you in the face.
She is taunting him. Just because she has a motive behind it doesn't mean it wasn't a taunt. She even threatened to turn him into an undead orc (which is what the lich king did to his son).
It remains to be seen whether or not her brash way of leading will pay off.

You're a Sylvanas hater. Got it. Literally nothing anyone says will ever change your opinion. Peace.

Do you have ANY goddamned idea how many Characters in Warcraft Lore have been captured and tortured?
Of course she did, anything to pull saurfang out of his “let me die” plan, but even that didn’t seem to work.

So is varian, Malfurion, hell any character that is captured. What a truly awful argument you have here.
Not to mention Sylvanas delayed the scourge, more people escaped because of her.
And neither of them have alot of experience in fighting pitched battles and seiges.
Kelthas took the bulk of the blood elf army to outland where it was destroyed / fel to the legion. The new blood elves are mostly rangers like lothermar who specialise in gorilla warfare and the new blood knights who now make up the main battle line with the blood golem's as seen in wod and legion in the suramar campaign.

Sylvanas and lothermar are gorilla warfare specialists. When fighting the Orcs and Undead they waged a hit and run defence with the main defence of the city under the command of someone else.
The undead in cata never successfully fought a conventional pitch battle and always had to resort to mass bombardment with the plague. See south shore and the end of gilneas.
Etrig I forgot about. Mostly because I haven't seen him do much for year's :/
Yes, this is bump, but for a reason

The Alliance version of this quest
Blow up a ship, a forsaken ship, filled with Blight
Its called the deathbringer, just like Saurfang the Younger was called when the Lich King made him into a DK, I'd say Sylvanas was already dissing Saurfang
