You were totally and absolutely correct in every way, I don't know why we were arguing, you're so amazing I should never have doubted you.

Marine, not Spartan, besides like the people above me already said, his body was deformed beyond salvation.
The concept could apply for a Spartan just like it did with Kat. And he wasn't crippled beyond fixing:
When he stood, he realized there was something wrong with his legs. They were strong, the muscles differentiated and much larger than before, but the muscles had done something to the bone, twisting them, curving them in odd directions. One leg was more or less normal, just a little bit bowed and twisted. The other, though, was gnarled and six inches shorter, and seemed more comfortable when folded up. That leg's ankle was rubbery and left the foot flopping. He could still stand but only at an angle, leaning far to the side, and he was more comfortable, he realized, if he used a hand for balance as well.
His arms, too, were rippling with muscles and seemed almost impossibly strong. They were for the most part fine: They were hardly deformed, relatively straight. But the fingers of one hand had become twisted and bowed, functioning now less like individual articulated digits, and more like a single pincer or claw.
So amputate his legs and hand and give him prosthesis. An easy fix for a valuable asset like him, considering he still had the training and augmentations.
