This knowledge about Sully’s past don’t spoil my picture of him. Considering his state of his mind at that time (losing his wife and daughter), he was grieved and that can make people do things they never would do normally. After he has seen his dark side, he had realised that he won’t like to be a man who always says yes and follow the orders. And in stead of being obedient he chooses to find his own way, not minding what other people would say. He followed his heart. I also think that his intolerance of guns was a result of this incident.

I think your analysis is very interesting and I agree with you completely, although I had never thought of it that way before. As you say, Sully has not always been the same person as he is now.
But I still think it's strange that he doesn't speak to Michaela about it. Maybe this is because he doesn't want to be reminded of and deal with the person he was then.
It was a long time since I watched this episode so I can't remember many details from it. I wish I was at the same place as my dvds right now.
