Re: Projecting guilt
Posted By: Jaydee <ultralisk_736@hotmail.com>	Date: 9/18/12 3:01 a.m.
In Response To: Projecting guilt (scarab) : In our current society being a whistle blower is more of an option. But the : human government in Halo is more dominated by the military than what we : are used to. I'm pretty sure that being a whistle blower is less of an : option in that society. : Its probably too strong to call the human government totalitarian but I don't : think that the Haloverse human society is a healthy place to live. The : society seems a bit sick. Its not good to have the military running the : show and its worrying to think that Halsey's project could actually have : been considered and done. Are there any people in the military here? Would : you take place in operations that steal your own citizen's children. Would : you stay silent if you knew about it? What if it happened during the : height of the cold war? Would that have made a difference? : Apparently Frankie said that the UNSC was like Star Fleet (or was the : comparison with the Federation?). To my mind they seem like polar : opposites. What do you think? Yeah, he compared it to the Federation of Star Trek. To be fair, the UNSC as an organization is noble, but it's ONI the organization that has its' hands so freaking dirty mushrooms are growing out of them. The main problem (or desperate solution) in that universe is that ONI was given far, far too much power to act as they would want... and in a society in an arms race, that will not end well. I sometimes wonder if ONI washing its' hands may also be part of Frankie's wishes in the direction of the franchise - making humanity seem less villainous. In the hands of other authors, ONI, not the Covenant, could end up as the villains of the universe.
