She's not being a bitch, she is doing her job as a leader. She's instilling discipline in them. If she left them alone, that would be a major problem.
Are they? Where does the UNSC regulations mention this? If we are still using gender specific honorifics in the 26th century, then we won't really have come very far. You were supposed to call any married woman you met in polite society this week Ma'am, but did you? Or would that have been awkward and a bit sexist?
Although right now, as one gaf-er pointed out, you absolutely call female officers Ma'am. One new boot was told, "Did you just call me Sir!? Would you like me to pull out my dick and slap you with it?"

Damn, good find dude. I honestly didn't even see that when I was watching this morning, must of been too tired lol.

It is absolutely not sexist to recognize a female as a female. And yeah, actually, I do refer to my female professors as Ma'am.
Especially the fish.

Finished episode 2. I like it more than episode 1. More focused, more progression with the characters.
Still not a fan of the first-person HUD shots, and I think I'm getting a little annoyed by the shaky-cam action.

Today the word actress no longer exists, men and women are both referred to as actors. Things change, and this is fiction and its in the future. They're obviously trying to make being a soldier less sex related. But yea, ma'am isn't considered sexist...as of yet.
She stole their food, what happens if they died of starvation or something? lol
Taking people's food and humiliating them in front of others does not make people respect you, or make them want to follow orders.
I've never understood the drill sergeant mentality of being a raging jackass. How does this build a better military? Or is it just small people taking their frustrations out on others?

Agreed. Actually, one could argue that sir is sexist because you are holding the male form as ideal and disregarding the importance of females. Men and women are different that is something to celebrate.
Um, I know plenty of people who say actress.

Well being nice to someone isn't going to turn them into a hardened killing machine that Marines have to be. Drill Sergeants are there to break you down mentally and then build you back up as a solider/teammate.
I think in actual drill, from what I've heard, the worst of the yelling/etc is the beginning. Once they've gotten you broken down they are nicer and more helpful.

I'm sure people say it, but its not politically correct anymore. Female actors don't like to be called actresses. Maybe I'm thinking theater, but I've definitely heard that.
Well, me too for sure, but I'm not a woman so I won't go there.

ugh. I think we should celebrate having distinct genders.
I don't get how yelling at people can make them 'hardened' if people yell at me I either block them out or snap.

Ok, I liked FUD episode 2 a ton also, though the pacing felt a little off with an ending that felt way too abrupt. But still, Im liking it. Can't wait til next week..
I literally had to rewind to that point due to having such a big wtf moment haha
Yeah, I thought that was a really neat tie in.
Oh man, now you're making me want this, haha.
Nice, I like his helmet, although it looks a tad Noble 6.

Are you 100% certain? Im not seeing anything, anywhere.

trying to figure out FUD firefight sequence
Lasky says there is equal numbers
I count 7 on screen kills (you don't see the third marine go down, but it's assumed he did)
you see 8 marines altogether... first 2 groups are 3 each (you see the thirds AR) then 2 by the flag
then silva kills 2 people off screen?
that makes 9-10 kills and then silva shoots at something before lasky collapses?
Lasky's squad had 9 members
I am kinda confused

I think the whole point of it is to try and break you. They want someone who can perform under horrible situations. Someone who can stay composed.
yes, but the one I saw is really short and didn't spoil anything

Happy Birthday Frankie! One day before mine even, can't believe after all these years I didn't even know that. October Men.
I still have to watch FUD Episode 1, and I'll probably do it Sunday along with Episode 2 for a nice long watch.
Very nice video, I think your vid was the first video to show how good the DMR is, I love it. Also the first video where I've seen someone show how instantly you can respawn once you press the button immediately - it's so strange to see that in a Halo game, but I like it.

:O WHAAATT! goddamn! @_@
The military literally tries to break you, all your habits, assumptions, attitudes, break them completely, and start afresh with what they consider a fresh template. That's the entire point of bootcamp. It's worked for 10,000 years and they have it down to a fine art. Well, until now when you can join the military and be fat and have gang tattoos and run a methlab. But it used to work.

Stop making the issue of calling female officers "sirs" larger than it is (if it is an issue at all). It doesn't matter.

Episode 1 felt a lot like an episode, while episode 2 really felt like a segment from a movie cut out. Still, I liked it and it kept me entertained the whole time. Color correction looked a lot better also, though there was one scene lit like fall out of nowhere.
I shall dub thee Demoncarnotaur, aka the hellspawned dinosaur colorista.
(Didn't particularly notice any difference between the eps, though I did betwee. The trailer and ep1.)
Agreed. It's fiction, and it's correct in the fiction. Arguing about it just leads to arguments about sexism and poltical correctness and you can take those off to OT if you want to be mad about either side of the argument.
So can I just say that it sounds odd to me? Or will I need to go into the den of cunts for that?
Edit: I should clarify, I'm not arguing that they should be calling her ma'am, but calling her sir pulls me out of the experience.
Can we complain about space mop instead, and how custodial services shouldn't be loitering around watching plebes fight?

People today still believe the earth is flat, but by Columbus' day most people accepted the round earth (heliocentrism on the other hand...)
The idea that Columbus proved the world was round is nonsense.
