Spartans are weapons, property of the UNSC. They cannot have paychecks becuase they have no bank accounts. How could they have one if they (for the first big part of the war) didnt even existed as far as the general public new. They didnt even have last names: Hi, I would like to withdraw 1,000 from my account, it is under the name of Jorge 052!
And as far as Maria starting a family, I think it was a bunch of crap. The Fall of Reach clearly states that the agumentations kills their s.e.x.u.a.l drive! IT IS IN THE BOOK!
Suppressed is not the same as not having one, Spartans still have a -blam!- drive, they just don't feel that much of an urge because it's toned down.
Also, if my memory serves me right, it wasn't even something that was intended as an augmentation. It was merely a highly likely side-affect to one of the many augmentations.
Indeed, it's one of the risks of the thyroid augmentation.
Name: Catalytic Thyroid Implant
Description: A platinum pellet is implanted in the left thyroid gland, this pellet contains a human growth hormone that is released into the body to boost growth of skeletal and muscle tissues. As the hormone is released into the body the pellet dissolves and is absorbed. The hormone targets and stimulates the growth of fast and slow twitch muscle fibers, effectively producing significant gains in muscle mass. The hormone also targets osteoblasts to help boost bone tissue formation and effectively strengthen the bone structure.
Risks: Rare instances of Elephantiasis. Suppressed -blam!- drive.
