i'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the dev is a military jockey with no actual clue as to how things are outside of hollywood, especially when it comes to ranks and behavior. like, say, an LT making fun of a Commodore while on duty, to his face no less, especially one that's a covert operations captain, or former captain in this case, in front of an audience. that doesn't just get you dishonorably discharged, it gets you court martialed for insubordination, locked up and blacklisted. and that's actually the best case scenario. 3 things you should remember, when dealing with the military: 1. hierarchy exists and it's there for a reason. it doesn't get bypassed, it doesn't get broken. 2. sexism exists. deal with it! you don't like it? get out of the military! also, women tend to give as good as they get when it comes to jokes... if not better! 3. they're called wraiths, not ghosts. and under no circumstance will a wraith get to return to official duty or civilian life. EVER! they also don't get recruited if they have any sort of family left behind for this very same reason.
the story itself isn't bad but seeing a woman that's 120lbs soaking wet antagonize an ape with 5 years in the field that looks like he bench-presses 220kg for fun is like watching a chihuahua trying to fight a shepherd. yea, good luck with that! he'll either laugh at you in your face, ignore your existence and consider you crazy or snap your neck like a twig because you said something that triggered him. military life makes you rough but it also makes you not take any bs. you don't forget your manners, sure, but there's a difference between being polite and respectful and being whatever the hell this MC is supposed to be. this is one story i'll never return to.
