Subject: How come none of the Spartan IIs hate Halsey?

They may not have hated Halsey, but she hated herself because of what she did to them, and they knew it.
And quite a few SPARTANS hated themselves for what they had become I'm sure.

Has everyone forgotten that the Spartans were indoctrinated and effectively brainwashed with propoganda as part of their training?

They didn't hate her because they were taught not to, because their life was all they ever knew with any degree of clarity. They were effectively slave soldiers with no rights or personal freedoms, and none of them would have it any other way. Because thats how they were raised.

In memory of those fallen in the defense of Earth and her colonies.

I imagine, because they are smart, they understood the moral issues with their abductions but I dont think they would hold any grudges against Halsey. Once indoctrinated into the Spartan way they wouldnt think about anything other than being a Spartan, their abduction was just something that happened to them in their distant past in a different life.

She gave them the choice after they were abducted. They either stayed and trained or they were returned to their families with their memories erased.

She cared for them too, she treated them like persons unlike most people who treated them as freaks.

My name is Legion, for we are many.

I can make up some of reasons for that:

1. They COULD have hated Halsey, but she did give them the choice to leave or stay after training, as with Soren-066 in Halo Evolutions. So if they did choose to stay, they didn't have anybody but themselves to blame.

2. They were fed a lot of BS and propaganda at a very young age to effectively brainwash them. Modern day humans aren't much different, what with children serving in WW2 and present conflicts.

3. They were facing two wars at the same time, so they'd feel honored to be picked to be superheroes. Seeing as those little kids were physically and mentally proficient, as well as competitive in nature, they would want to fight.

I'm sorry, but I CANNOT agree with that.

Spartans are hardly "Slave soldiers", live and wish only to be on the battlefield murdering stuff, and have rights.

Sure there was some indoctrinated, but Halsey cared for them, she wouldn't allow them to go that far.

Didn't a handfull of Spartans try to escape? They held pistols at gunpoint to Halsey and her doctors and left ONI's base and returned to their homes only to find their clones, two of them committing suicide and the other three being captured.

We Are The Meta.

There were some who escaped, some who remembered their lives from before.

"Homecoming."

My personal favourite, because it shows that the Spartan's were taken for an illegal op program by the UNSC. That was before the Covenant, makes you wonder what other skeletons they have in the cupboard.

Most saw her as a mother figure because she wasn't military, the only connection to the lives they once had.
