"they have yeah, but they're gonna need to hold it together longer". Marcus countered, "we can't afford anything else Rin.". It wasn't to be cruel or because he was frustrated.  It was just the facts.  And already he had seen this to many times, someone loosing it in their first fight.  Even veterans did, but there were only four of them and at least a dozen civis.  They couldn't allow for weakness.  At least not visible weakness.  He didn't say it out loud to Rin, after all he has a pretty good idea how she'd react to it, but they just needed to suck it up.  Bottle up these issues until they were back at a base and had the luxury of breaking down in private.
