As for the Scouting Legion squad leader in Ep1, his behaviour would have warranted severe dsiciplinary action by a superior officer in any real-life army, regardless of the circumstances in which it occurred, so, again, it was too much for me to take seriously, even though I understood the intended dramatic effect.

That probably has more to do with Tetsuro Araki. He's been known to over dramatize from time to time in his shows despite being a decent director. That said I wouldn't be surprised if that squad leader was reprimanded, especially when the government rather not have people thinking about the outside world.

This is how she should look like:

I really don't see the big deal with lips, but than again I'm not a manga reader. She still comes off detached to me.
