Anime-Welkin is doing what would be considered most professional as a soldier: he's trying to distance himself from others he cares for. It may seem cruel of him, but it's so he can do his job as the CO of Squad Seven. If he were to attach himself too much to others, he'd be prone to making critical mistakes in battle by worrying about them. And those kinds of mistakes could spell the squad's demise, something he can't allow to happen.
Granted, it does make him less likable, but realistically it would be considered wise of him.

It could be an explanation for an adult character. Adult should speak with Alicia and explain her that althought he thinks of her as a splendidn woman, they couldn't be together, because army regulations doesn't allow relationships between superior and subordinate, especially at war. Instead he is trying to force a woman he love into arms of another man. It's not wise, it's retarded, like almost all "character development" in this anime.
@kalbron - I've seen them, looks much better than anime.
