He does bring up a good point though. They would not be partying like that during the war.
"Nu uh! No! N-no because it's called shore leave Mdoggy! Lots of soldiers in real life go on shore leave during wars. Check your facts!"
I'm well aware of what shore leave is, but the war in Mass Effect 3 cannot be compared to wars we have in real life. The Reaper War isn't about nations, ideologies, or ethnicities. It's about the extermination of all advanced civilization. Millions of organics are dying by the day across the galaxy, and there's this impending doomsday clock on organics. With that said, do you really think it's appropriate for Shepard and Co. to throw a party like that?
If the crew needed time to unwind, they already have the Normandy. It has a rec room with a full bar. Not to mention Shepard has his own fancy loft to sleep in. I could roll with Shepard spending an hour to unwind at the Citadel, shooting bottles with Garrus or having coffee with Ashley. But having a full blown party, getting wasted off your ass, playing at the casino, going to the arcade, etc etc, just seems inappropriate and disrespectful to the people dying.
I get that Bioware wanted to give us a really fun DLC, so a little suspension of disbelief is needed for Citadel DLC. Fine whatever, but this dlc would've made a lot more sense as a post ending adventure. Too bad that's impossible given the wall Mac and Casey wrote the writers into.

To answer the OP about why everyones isn't on panic stations during the war...
Take a look at war's that we have seen in our real world. Celebrities going out to visit soldiers to boost there moral, employment increasing in different sectors and employees on there spare time need to unwind.
Now look at recent wars in our own time. Has America given the war in Afghanistan a movie title yet? Anyway. You have soliders over there from both sides blowing the crap out of each other and everything around them, whilst at the same time the likes of builders, politicians, aid charities etc are trying to restore the place back to normal just around the corner. Whilst over on our side of the world you have people worrying about losing retail jobs and such, but then chilling out and watching the X-factor and shizz.
Then just around the other corner you have a war in Syria which for some reason no one seems to care about, but over there its like the end of the world is upon them, and all they have left is probably day dreaming to get the hell out of there one day.
In a time of war, moral is just as important as a bullet. One day a war will end and you need to be able to adapt back into a fully working society, otherwise your in a shizz storm of depression and you may has well have been killed back when things were in chaos.

True, but then again this is why I headcannon the party as post High-EMS destroy anyway, the mission is fine placed after either the Coup or Rannoch

You are magnificent, HYR. Did I ever tell you that? One hell of an imagination and a sense of humour to boot. Plus, it's targetless humour. And to just toss this together to amuse people? You rock.
I wish there was more of this around the BSN -- more of this creativity. And less of the hate, complaining, and demagogic, viral nonsense.

Necromancy (/ˈnɛkrɵˌmænsi/) is a claimed form of magic involving communication with the deceased – either by summoning their spirit as an apparition or raising them bodily – for the purpose of divination, imparting the means to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge. The term may sometimes be used in a more general sense to refer to black magic or witchcraft.[1][2]
The word "necromancy" is adapted from Late Latin necromantia, itself borrowed from post-classical Greek νεκρομαντεία (nekromanteía), a compound of Ancient Greek νεκρός (nekrós), "dead body", and μαντεία (manteía), "prophecy or divination"; this compound form was first used by Origen of Alexandria in the 3rd century CE.[3] The classical Greek term was ἡ νέκυια (nekyia), from the episode of the Odyssey in which Odysseus visits the realm of the dead, νεκυομαντεία in Hellenistic Greek, rendered as necyomantīa in Latin, and as necyomancy in 17th century English.[4]
In medieval Latin and English texts the variant nigromantia, "nigromancy", is found. This form arose when writers of that era replaced the Greek word element necro- with the better-known Latin nigro-, "black".[5] In Renaissance magic, nigromancy (as necromancy was often called during that period due to its presumed association with black magic) was classified foremost among seven "forbidden arts", all of them methods of divination.[6]

I think OP watched too much Lost
The most important part of Shepard's life was the time that he spent with his squadmates on the Normandy. He needed all of them, and they needed him.
This theory makes me miss Lost lol.
