We never actually saw proof that the Master Chief's Spartan IIs died. Not clear, hard proof. It's possible, in my opinion, that the Spartans survived the glassing, perhaps by retreating into the Forerunner caverns below, which I'm sure would be strong enough to withstand it.
No but wait. We do know that a lot of the Spartans survived the Glassing. Well... kinda.
I think the quote is about something much deeper. None of the Spartans we know off are Spartan 259 and Spartan 320. I doubt its a Second Class of Spartans as we've been told on multiple occasions that that project was postponed indefinitely and it ultimately became the Spartan-III Program.
Though, its been alluded that some Spartans 'died'. In true Halo fiction, when a Spartan dies, they are listed as MIA. For example, when Sam died, he was listed as MIA.
I think the Spartans involved here 'died', and are literally missing to their peers, used by ONI for dark, special missions. To their fellow Spartans, they're dead.
In fact, during the augmentation that made the Spartans what they were, a few survived, some were injured and transferred to jobs at ONI. And some died.
What if they didn't die? What if the other Spartans were let to believe that they died?
