I enjoy that this isn't a "You're not a high enough rank to bother me" it's a "I'm not a high enough rank to be bothered by you"

[GregoryZavoluk]

"With all due respect" said the Space Marine, with the maximum possible amount of disrespect.

[FrozenPyro]

The chaplain in the corner waiting angrily for the commander to realize he’s in charge

[thedevilsadvocate]

"Welcome back!"
"With all due respect, why are you addressing me?"
"Oh, apologies, it is tradition among my men to show some sign of relief at the return of surviving warriors. With all the same due respect, I was hoping you could point me to your commander."
"Oh, that's the big man in black."
"Thank you, great warrior."

Diplomacy 101

[swordbrethrenmordred]

Commisar Cain was once sent on a diplomatic mission to act as a connection between the Guard and the Astartes of the Reclaimer Chapter.
He realized it would be a harder task than he thought when a commander ranted about the Astartes hierarchy and that their highest ranking officer is "just" a sergeant, which he found disrespectful.

[briochepanda]

"... May I go back to talking to the sergeant?"
**CHAPLAIN VIBRATING FURIOUSLY**

[yichlyichl]

That was an unreasonably intense "ME."

[mistadangerzone]

If there's anything I've learned about space marine lore, its that you NEVER disrespect a chaplain

[charlesman]

“Who the devil do I speak to!?”
*Chaplin stands there menacingly*
“… He’s right behind me isn’t he?”

[twoduece]

"with all due respect, why are you addressing me?" is about the most respectful possible answer he couldve gotten

[giacomoromano]

I find the astartes going "no, you don't address me either" before even having the General speak funny. He read him in a instant.

[TalosValcoranOfTheFirstClaw]

Imagine having such a sick drip as a sargeant that someone have mistaken you for Captain. I would take that as a compliment

[marqofthedwyne]

"You do not address me, either"
The way he spoke the line is somehow, really hilarious.

[pedromoura]

general: "so who am i talking to!?"
SM: "the priest..."
general: "oh f***!"

[Fahadk]

Marines forget why they fight. They're supposed to the protector of humanity. But in moat cases I've seen they treat ordinary humans like insects.

[korien]

"My lord, you all have different colours and heraldry. Sometimes it's taking some time to judge if I'm dealing with loyal or traitor and the fact that they are killing my men isn't even a deciding factor!"

[corgamargetokodra]

Well with a thousand different orders of Space Marines which do or do not adhere to the Codex Astartes i cannot blame the general XD

[DarkDemonsInside]

The best way to sum this conversation up.
"Your not my boss, hes standing over there."

[ManCheetah]

Bro did the book really say "ME!!!" in like, size 54 font like you just yelled it? that would be badass.

[Tampenismall]

Guardsman: hey, welcome back lord
Space marine: ohh I like this one
