Subject: Did the public know about Spartans?

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

During the war, did the public know that Spartans were about there kicking ass, or did ONI cover it u?
And if they knew about Spartans, did they know that they were kidnapped as children and altered and all that good stuff?

My favorite group.

I bet they covered it up. And I think they replaced the kidnapped ones with clones, so they probably don't know.

ONI made sure the public knew nothing about the kidnappings, even going as far as to create flash clones of the children. They wanted to create that "Have no fear, we're kicking Covenant ass!" image with the Spartan IIs, which is why all dead spartans are listed as MIA, as to not let the public know that the UNSC's best hope against the Covenant isn't slowly dying.

The spartan program was revealed to the public in 2547 to boost morale, I doubt they told about the kidnappings though.
