Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

And as for the OP, I can only assume ODSTs hate the Spartans because the ODSTs were to be exactly how the Spartans are. But they never received the augmentations and training the Spartans did. So you could say the ODSTs are the first wave of failed Spartans. I believe that's why they hate the Spartans.
LOLWUT
ODSTs are all volunteers. By your logic, if you signed up after the SPARTAN program was announced, you would be bitter that you weren't selected to be a Spartan. Are the civilians bitter about it too? How about the animals?
ODSTs were around before the Spartan project was even thought of, genius.
So were all the other branches of the military. The ODSTs are not the first failed wave of Spartans. The ORION project was the first attempt at making Spartans, but it was a failure and quietly shelved (watch "Be Human" ~ Halo Legends). Sgt. Johnson is technically a SPARTAN-I and it made him able to be immune to the Flood. (Read, Halo: The Flood (I think)). The reason the ODSTs have a rough relationship with the Spartans is because the ODSTs were the best of the best. Then, the Spartans come in with their augmentations and fancy, high tech armor so the spotlight quickly goes toward the Spartans and the ODSTs quickly become the unsung heroes. That's why there's a rocky relationship between them. They were "replaced" in a way. (It's also explained in the special disc of Halo: Legends by Eric Nylund himself.)
