Well as its been shown throughout the series: Sarge is stupid and insane.

Also in RvB we don't know what the ODSTs are exactly. They could be anything. Who's to say in RvB they are Spec-ops, we don't know.

But You could wager that perhaps Sarge was somewhat competant as a soldier at one point in his life. I mean during the Great War he was a liutenant.

I wouldn't be surprised if the events at Broken Ridge where his entire squad were killed (indirectly by a time-traveling Sarge no less) was the starting point of his insanity.
