ODST's are supposed to be near crazy, dangerous, on the edge people. While reading the cole protocol (In 5 days btw) I noticed the ODST trooper division is Battle hardened marines.
In ODST however, they are cowards, disrespectful, and seem less motivated than the average marine. Some examples are in the prepare to drop cutscene. Buck has to tell his squad to get in their pods, twice.
This is not how I imagined troopers like that would be.
I wouldn't say they were cowards, less motivated and disrespectful yes, but not necessarily cowards. I have always thought about ODSTs as their nickname Helljumpers. Battle hardened and disciplined like you said, but they like doing their own thing, and that is killing Covies, which is what my guess would be for their lack of enthusiasm.
They were all pumped to get aboard Regret's ship and when they found out they were going on an under-the-radar ONI mission, I'm sure they were bummed, at least that's my opinion.
If not that then perhaps to reflect the feelings or humanity in general about the war, being brought to the edge of extinction over 25 and some odd years.
Just my thoughts.
