Is your solution to rudeness to be rude?
Liara is already involved in the conversation if she's there with me talking to the person I'm talking to. Hence, not rude.
Shepard drives all the conversations, and the team members are still accessorary. Hence, still rude. It's the same sort of reason you don't talk to the translator if at all possible when speaking across a language barrier, and why you don't look at them either even when they're explaining.
Not to mention, the very fact of Shepard
needing an explanation on what an Asari Justicar is after setting out on a mission to recruit one is very, very stupid on a number of levels. That briefing should have occured, by an Asari expert before he even set out.
Or potentially not: Liara is a prothean expert, not an Asari expert. By her own admission, she's socially stunted.
Hence the qualifier "could."
Hence why a trained professional who
would be qualified and expected to know, and not
could know simply on the basis of an accident of birth, is preferable.
Shepard should have had an Asari expert even before he found Liara, even before he knew her trustworthiness.
So we can agree that the training is military, but does not necessarily make Tali a soldier. That's fair. She serves quite adequately as an engineer squadmate in ME1, though.
Her training is military in the sense it may or may not have been taught by military personnel. It is was not military training in the sense of making someone military.
I think this is a case of those cultural barriers coming into play. The krogan are aliens. What we deem professional and what they deem professional are going to be different. As long as Wrex can follow orders from his squad leader, this strikes me as an asset rather than a liability.
These cultural barriers are the problem that a similar professionalism would help avoid. It's easy to say 'as long as anyone is obediant, we'll be fine,' but you need more than obediance to be a good team member. You need to be able to work together as an integrated whole, with similar expectations, not not simply master-obedient.
But, as with krogan, their definition doesn't necessarily mesh with our own. Garrus doesn't salute you, he doesn't call you "sir." Is he as "unprofessional" as Wrex?
No. You're confusing regulations with discipline and professionalism.
