We are all going to get banned aren't we?

What I don't understand is why some members of the community think that the Sangheili and humanity are suddenly going to become 'best buds'.
The war raged for twenty seven years. We, as a species, don't just patch things up and move on that quickly.
Of course, I'd have loved for the UNSC and his Royal Arbiterness and his chums to have planned for peace and moved on. But that's just not going to happen. Not overnight anyway.
And if you had the same opportunity as ONI and the UNSC has now -- to rid the galaxy of the split-lip species as a whole -- to safeguard the future of humanity against future aggression you'd probably do the same.
As for Karen Traviss' approach to Halo, I appreciate her more political, personal approach to post-war life. It's more realistic.
Have you read the "preview"? We aren't saying we should be best buds but the relationship should be formed seeing as halo 3 made it seem like it was in formation. The elites, an "honorable race" should be on our asses trying to make us understand that they didn't know the religion was BS and that they were acting under false pretenses. Instead the elites are complaining saying that if we weren't "so far spread" then they would have wiped us out and wouldn't be in their current situation.
The Elites have changed, somehow humanity got a forerunner dive to reverse engineer and they now understand forerunner tech but don't understand the covenant's, ONI now controls humanity. It's too much.
In "The Thursday War" ONI Defies Lord Hood himself by Helping the rebelling on Sanghelios instead of helping the Arbiter- Which We were trying to build relationships with. Which Leaves the Arbiter Locked up and in a dire situation While jul (The one that wants to wipe us out) Now has Fleets and is committed to finding the didact so he can wipe out humanity once and for all.
You guys support that? ONI is a rouge faction that needs to be put down at this point maggie is far worse than Halsey since she just started another war which more people will be killed.
How the Hell is maggie selecting who runs ONI when the board should be doing that? Why is maggie still acting if she just made Osman her successor? Why Is halsey being tried like a slave? How is Halsey getting criticized for not caring about her spartans when her request for more funding so she could get them better equipment and start another program was denied yet they had money for the infinity?
Think of all the hundreds of children that would have lived to fight another day if ONI gave Ackerson the funds to support them instead of supporting suicide solders. We could have had 2 or 3 fleets for what the infinity costs! Think of how different the battle of Earth would have been if the UNSC had the ships to defend the macs. The covenant wouldn't have gotten through if the infinity wasn't made.
I seriouesly think you are shortsighted if you don't read these novels and see that Maggie is the N@zi. Maggie Is the one that should be locked up in a cell. Instead we have her running around supporting 3-6 years old getting slaughtered, Building unnecessary ships because she wants to, Attacking Sanghelios "For a test run", And doing whatever the hell else she wants. Yet Halsey is bad and Halsey is the Devil that needs to be disposed of.
Karen tried saying they killed the kids that didn't want to be in the spartan program Despite the fact we have Grey team having the option to op out,The fact most of the kids wanted to be in, The fact Halsey even asked soren herself if he wanted to join the program and didn't coax him into it like ackerson did.
We have canon supporting that didn't happen yet according to The novel it did and that is bad. Yet Nobody has any issues with government sanctioned 3-6 year olds being taken from there "homes", being "pumped full of chemicals" and being sent in to die by a man that doesn't even know a hundred of their names.
It is Obviously better writing to try and demonize a human character that did feel bad about her actions but understood they were necessary. A Character that knew each and every one of her spartans. A Mother that took the time to teach them games and have fun with them.
Apparently Being a Mother to children that couldn't have parents because they had to save humanity on two fronts is bad, it is wrong. Yet being a Man who doesn't give a damn about anything other than results and a woman how just likes flaunting her power is good and ok.
