The general idea I've been trying to lay down:
a) Haruhi's Always Right, while appropriate when looking at things from *her* perspective (or the SOS-dan's perspective) is unsettling and/or suspicious when looked at from the outside.
b) Like Foxboy said, Haruhi's desire for dramatic necessity leads her into a near-sociopathic disregard for the well-being of the people under her command.
Those are the two points driving Cap'n Mal's fury in the For Liberty threads. For him, it's not a question of "competence" (Haruhi's a competent general. But then, so was Douglas Haig.) but a question of trust.---
