Some of you may already know this but in the Turkish Empire there were two types of soldiers 1. the regulars or Gazi's who would represent the Marines and 2. Janissaries who an advanced group of soldiers who were taken at a young age and trained to be great soldiers and ambassadors who would represent the Spartans in Halo
Just a little History lesson for you guys
They were based off of Greek Spartans. That's all there is to it. It's blatantly stated in the books as well. There is no reference to Janissaries or any other elite force of any other culture because Spartans of Halo are based on Spartans.
well said. The Spartans were the Greek super soldiers. Dr Halsey said in her diary they chose the name Spartans because they mad the most in common with the project soldiers. Plus there were 300 children chosen.
