Sure, Halsey was made to seem like a villain. She isn't exactly the picture of innocence either, she did endanger the UNSC by taking so many Spartans away. Even if it did pay off in the end with new technology.
Apparently it was worth the risk for Lord Hood since he is the one who signed off on the transfer of Blue Team from Earth to Onyx. And let's not forget Parandoksy ordering an interrogation on Fred and his actions during the Battle of Reach, keeping him away from the defense of Earth while the Covies were wrecking havoc.
Plenty of endangerment to spread around.
Forgive the triple post, but Halsey did less to 'endanger the UNSC' then Parangosky did.
Parangosky had the infinity sitting at the edge of the Sol System, during the battle of Earth. Instead of having another ship jump out and let the Infinity borrow the slipspace drive to defend Earth, she let it sit there.
The Infinity also had Spartan IV's, which were not present at the battle of Earth.
Likewise, she appears to know exactly where Gamma company S3's were at, but didn't bring them back to Earth to defend it.
Halsey taking Blue Team didn't endanger the UNSC at all. Earth was losing anyway, and Chief was fighting at the major locations the Covenant focused in.
Oh, and that's not even mentioning Parangosky ordering Reach to be handed to the covenant. Keeping the planet in the dark about the Covenant forces, keeping the fleet away and clueless about the Long Night of Solace (Then getting very pissed when Noble Team and the army/air force destroyed it and actually defended the planet. Despite the fact if she truly wanted to capture it, she could've assigned those teams/let them know beforehand.
Seriously, there's a note about an officer wondering if fireworks were planned in a city, which was being attacked by the Covenant.
