You are right. And, if it weren't for the fact that the Spartan III program started for the exact reasons we're discussing, it would be a fool-proof explanation. In our logic, spending every dime we have for the safety of humankind makes sense, but there has to be a limit somewhere. Do we spend all our money on armor? Or do we spend it on carriers, or ships, to defend off-surface?
Realistically speaking, people wouldn't be worried about getting paid if they were about to die. Just saying.
That's actually pretty unrealistic. If the future in the Halo Universe is the same as today, people who send supplies to the UNSC still care about money. If they didn't care, that would cause major economic problems after the war with the Covenant.
Sorry, I should make myself more clear. I wasn't talking about the Halo Universe or how the economy works in it. I was simply referring to a real life situation where people were literally facing death, like gone forever.
Now, speaking of the Halo universe, I can understand there being a cost concern if there wasn't impending doom looming over their heads, but when a planet gets glassed...you do what you need to do. So, If people on earth were facing total annihilation where money doesn't mean anything THEN they wouldn't care about money. Anyways, my bad for going off topic.
