In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

I have read all the books. What evidence can you give me that they are Spartans apart from one quote?
"You've got Spartans on the ground, sir. We're not going anywhere." This could easily be a Pelican pilot talking.Yes, it could be a pelican pilot, but that still doesn't seem the fill the holes well. During the battle of Reach, most pelicans that tried to go ground-side were shot down (an incident such as this lead to the death of many Spartans). Plus, what would a pilot say "we're not going anywhere", unless referring to more pelican aircraft. In proper english, the word "we" is used to describe a group, including the one speaking.
Since Halo: Uprising and Halo 3, Spartan-117 has been referred to as "Sierra", that being the appropriate military call-sign for a Spartan. The change had little to nothing to do with story purposes, but to make the game seem more realistic. If there is a story reason, it would only have to do with the fact that the covenant would recognize "Spartan" right away. The use of "Sierra" would be an attempt the throw the Covenant off, if only a little.
Yeah, but John has been the only Spartan ever to be called Sierra and either way there has never been a Spartan tag number over 150.
There was NOT a second group of Spartans.Well, there was a possible second class of Spartans, but the canon status of this group has not been confirmed.
If you're talking about I Love Bees, that's a bunch of non-canon crap. They have been mentioned in the books but they never ended up being conscripted.Even parts of I love bees was considered canon. Yes, the books say that Halsey's second class was put on hold, and eventually scrapped, but that does not mean that the second class could have happened without Halsey's knowledge. Hell, I've seen a few theories that suggest there were more that 320 original candidates that were cut down to the 150 mentioned in the book. Not a whole lot of support for the theories, but not much to totally trash it, either.
