Grunts (and Elites, and Brutes, and Jackals... don't know about the hunters, though) are not a hive mind. They have personalities. Since Grunts were/are regarded as worthless, and thus almost surely had less education (read: propaganda and brainwashing), they probably have the most deviation of opinion amongst the entire Covenant. There would be fanatical followers of the Prophets who regard the powers struggle and betrayal as punishment from the Gods, who may seek "redemption" by killing as many humans as possible, and those Grunts who want revenge on the Brutes (this group also seems to contain at least most of the High-Ranking Elites) at all costs, even if it means siding with the humans. And of course, the moderates (for lack of a better term), who think that humans are still filthy and need to be exterminated, and now the Brutes and their allies are now up for the slaughter.
