Semi-related to the pic, this is what Red vs. Blue fills in for Halo.

In the games, you see the point of view of the people that changed the course of the war, and see it from the eyes of humanity's champion that was made from some of the worst things mankind could do to itself. It's from the point of view of humanity's ultimate desperation against a relentless enemy.

In Red vs. Blue, you see a bunch of loonies that enlisted for an army that is a bureaucratic mess, and spend years doing nothing but bickering and dicking around just so they don't go insane from boredom. All, while people in the higher ranks have their own agendas, and the troopers slowly come to realize which causes really matter, when the war machine instead chews them and spits them out like garbage.

I absolutely love both Halo and Red vs. Blue, but I really can't deny that Halo, and a lot of military science fiction, tends to paint military as too professional or too cocky. Spartans, I can understand them being machine-like, since the canon stresses how fucked up their creation was and how exposed they are to conflict.

But common soldiers... gameplay-wise, yeah, I can get it. On one hand, I can understand programmers making them simple-but-entertaining to listen to while avoiding making too many customizable things, but on another, I abide by the philosophy that every single human being on the planet is a degree of crazy, and denying otherwise leads to either unhappiness, or boredom.

I remember watching a Vietnam doc about unhappy soldiers and crewmen drawing on their helmets and equipment, and comments taking the piss on the kind of stuff they'd draw and write on their own helmets should the worst come to pass. "Next Stop: Isekai." "Here Comes the Fuel OwO."

Yeah, my cousin went to deployment as normie as you can be and came back a pagan UFO nerd. Red vs. Blue is definitely a more accurate depiction!
