Dear Humanity,
We regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to Earth. And we most definitely regret that the Corps just blew up our raggedy-ass fleet!"
—Sergeant Major Avery Junior Johnson, 2552

So i was wondering right, on Halo: The Flood why captain Keyes didn't show his ODST tattoo at Silva to get him to cooperate better. Wouldn't the ODST troopers respect him after that?

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Navy Captain > Army Major

He was already the ranking officer and even though Major Silva didn't like it, he was prepared to follow any orders given.

Yea but that's the weird thing, why didn't Silva like it when Keyes had that Tattoo. Keyes' tattoo meant he was a friend of the ODST troopers

I think the tattoo was more of if any ODST's was giving Keyes major trouble.

Not sure, been awhile since I read the book.

Marines are the land combat forces of the Navy, so the ODSTs are in the Navy.

Also, from what I have heard/remember of Silva, he seems like he doesn't respect many people regardless of their past or connections to the UNSC or ODSTs, except for his own men.

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

I really didn't care what the ODSTs thought, I'm the commanding officer dammit.
