I just cant stand how Palmer hates Hasley. I mean come on she made the spartans. [/quote]
She can only go off of what she's been told, and Palmer's been told she kidnapped children and forced them to be Spartans. The Spartans may be badass, but that doesn't change the fact that kidnapping and conscripting children into the military is kind of a dick move.[/quote]
If it were not for halsey Palmer probably wouldnt be a spartan. She should know this and show some respect. Right?[/quote]While in a way yes, but Halsey was still turning children into emotionless war machines.[/quote]
Which ONI funded. Besides the S-III project was by far worse than the S-II project yet we don't see Ackerson being arrested.[/quote]Correction ONI knew about the kidnappings, what they didn't know was the use of Flash Clones which was the reason she was arrested.
ONI didn't give a dam about the kidnapping and conscripting kids, after all they commissioned the S-III program to do the same thing.[/quote]
I think ONI knew eventually, but kept her around because she was extremely valuable in the position she was in at the time. Since there is no statute of limitations for squandering billions of dollars, they arrested her in a less valuable state.

ONI funded it yes, yet Halsey was arrested not for doing the Spartan program, but for squandering funds for an unauthorized project, the clones of the children, which cost billions of credits. It was all for legal reasons; ONI merely uses her work in the Spartan program as a smear tactic. Political backstabbing is second nature to ONI.
And Ackerson's dead, tortured to death by the Covenant.
He died? I really need to get around to readig the Kilo-Five trilogy, I wasn't aware of his death.
Although parangosky allowed the S-III project to happen as well yet she wants to crucify Halsey i've heard. ONI needs to seriously take a chill on the backstabbing.
He died in a comic book years ago, not Kilo-Five.
And ONI's primary goal with Halsey is to keep her under house arrest for honest legal reasons, but they broadcast the whole child-killer thing to keep her from gaining supporters and sympathy. Halsey is dangerous, as smart as she is, so the less sympathizers, the better.
Parangosky openly admits she's going to hell right with Halsey for the things she's let happen, particuarly the Spartan program. I don't think either of them question their effectiveness, hence the SIII's, and really Parangosky has no moral beef with Halsey. It's all legal and political, Parangosky only brings up the moral black hole of the Spartan program to make a point about her motives, why she made the clones.
Fair enough, i guess that explains the crucification of Halsey. I have to admit i do like how the spartan IV's are being fleshed out and are not simply carboard cut-outs.
Agreed about the IV's. I also do like how Thorne wants to hear Halsey's side of things rather than buy into the propoganda.
You know, I often feel that a lot of people think Halsey is being crucified and arrested because of the Spartans, which is where a lot of the hate for the books comes from, even though it's untrue.
