Subject: Halo is like WW2 and the Cold war

I am on the third chapter of glasslands, but so far, I think the human covenant war was like world war 2, and now the humans are planning to start sending spies in to sabotage the elites like what the americans did to the russians in the cold war. Poor old elites are too honorbound to fight back this way.

Post war is indeed pretty much similar to the cold war. The only issue is the cold war was about "if" post H-C war is supposedly about "when".

Only superficially I think. The USSR and the West were ideological enemies before WWII. The fall of fascism did not solve their pre-existing differences.

Post-Halo 3, the main difference that could keep hostilities going are prejudices and distrust over post war intentions. There is no ideology to promote distrust though. It was destroyed by the Great Schism. Both of those aforementioned issues could be solved by increased co-operation and openness, which is what Thel and Hood are trying to start. It is just the initial post-war distrust and prejudice that has to be overcome. Unless, of course, someone like 'Telcam and the Servants of Abiding Truth come to power. Then you would have an ideology promoting distrust and hostility. Then you would have a problem.
