OP What is the word for a military leader who is violent and mistreats his/her men?
Martinet comes about as close as any word I know. Strict discipline is the martinet's strong suit; whether this necessarily includes violence is not clear to me.
OP Thanks. Had thought of that one...doesn't seem quite right.
