Well, this was what happened when you took a Spartan, a man who'd been trained to operate in a team and expect nothing less than perfection and put them in a situation like this. One where no matter how hard he tried, no matter how effective his training methods may be, his students lives were thrown away seemingly carelessly.
Spartans didn't deal with failure well and thanks to Halsey's teachings, taking seemingly the weight of humanity on their shoulders wasn't just a likelihood, it was an expectation.
"Good. The Chief, he's been an invaluable help and I really do think our training methods are on par with what we had to go through. But the Spartan-III's aren't kitted out as well as we were and as I said, the missions they get assigned are ones with an 'acceptable' casualty level threshold." He couldn't mask the disgust and anger in his voice when he said that.
"I've tried to save as many as I can, especially those who show real promise. But there's only so many numbers I can fudge. And ONI will have their pound of flesh."
