Soldier behavior was something that was extremely strict during his time in the military. Saying anything back to a commanding officer would mean that one would be punished for such an action. That just meant that a soldier would know when to speak to someone properly and not let their ego get in the way of their work. It made everything a lot easier to command, although it meant that no one was free just to be able to do anything more smoothly than have to worry about someone questioning something in the middle of battle. It just didn't work like that. Washington also learned this during his time of Project Freelancer and when CT constantly questioned something the Director ended up saying. The Freelancer knew when to keep his mouth shut and there were several instances that worked in his favor. He would rather listen than have to talk most of the time. Washington still steadied his tongue in this new world, because he knew that saying anything that could be considered offensive or rude could land him in a not so nice situation. He knew this for a fact with the way that those that were just joining talked back to others. It made it obvious that not everyone liked the way that they were talked to, and when it came to violence that was the last thing they wanted to happen. Even if it was a misunderstanding. Hence why some were still apprehensive about Carolina because she had attacked him when she first arrived at the group. So far his attitude had been pretty tamed up to one point, but he hadn't had another episode in a while so he thought that he was going to be fine.
He was getting better, and he knew that Carolina was going to end up getting better the same as well. Where Carolina was, Washington usually followed. He had heard about Tanglewood but wasn't really sure what to think about them. He knew that they were warbound and one of the more aggressive groups, so he wasn't about to go and visit the likes of them when he wasn't capable of fighting all that well in his current body. The Freelancer made his way over with eyes narrowed as he looked at the male that had made the ridiculous comments toward the visitors. Really? Was no one going to do anything about that? It seemed Carolina was the first one to speak about the other's behavior, which wasn't appropriate in this current situation. A disapproving snort would escape the soldier's nostrils as he stood next to Carolina, still keeping a good enough distance between him and his coworker. "I would have gotten chewed out for saying something like that. My body probably wouldn't have recovered from whatever punishment they could think of for that." Washington would shake his head. There were plenty of ways to punish a soldier. Food. Necessities. It wasn't exactly humane, or there could just be physical work over and over again. He remembered being punished for an entire week, during which he would be forced to go to the training room floor and work for the rest of the day instead of going on missions. It hurt like hell and he was pretty sure he could barely walk. The helmet that he wore hid the facial expressions that he had, but they didn't hide the tone that he had with his voice. "speech"
