Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

Not only did Halsey experiment on human beings, which caused many to die, she also created flash clones which of course died as well. So her actions killed many innocent kids.
Wrong. Halsey experimented on chimps before giving the augmentations to the children and made sure to make it as safe as possible. It was not perfect, but her research paved the way for the 100% safe augmentations for the S-IIIs and beyond.
Also, the flash clones are a far better alternative than nothing. If your child dies, you KNOW they died. It's painful yes, but compare that to never knowing what happened to your child and letting your imagination run wild. Being -blam!-ly abused by some pervert, dead in a ditch on a backwater colony, so many situations and you just don't know.
Personally i don't think the Spartans 2 were needed to fight of the rebels. Call me an optimistic man, but i don't think kidnapping innocent children, brainwashing them, taking away there humanity, experimenting on them, killing them, lying to their parents, creating flash clones of them that will die, is the right way to go in fighting rebels bent on destruction.
Then how do you propose fighting rebels armed with nukes and happy to use them, as they did on Mamore, bombing public areas killing hundreds to get a few UNSC or CMA personnel and/or making and hijacking ships to build their own arsenal.
Conventional Earth-based counter-terror tactics don't work on a galactic scale. The Spartans were used to go after the terrorists only. Had the Covenant not showed up, who knows how far they would've gone.
If i heard of a government here on earth who decide to kidnap children to create super soldiers to fight some big rebel/terrorist problem....then i would be against it as well, even if their actions of saving kids could potentially save future lives.
So you would damn the many, good idea.
