Re: Projecting guilt
Posted By: Quirel	Date: 9/18/12 9:41 a.m.
In Response To: Re: Projecting guilt (Hawki) : I doubt it. Minor spoilers for 'The Thursday War', but there's a scene where : a jiralhanae bomb takes out some sangheili, pissing off the sangheili : attatched to Phillips. Kind of paraphrasing, but the implication goes that : this act is horrible because it's not honourable. But glassing worlds and : killing millions? Perfectly acceptable-humans fight, lose, die. Sangheili : morals in a nutshell. : At least that's the impression I got. Eh, that's the way they've always been. Like you said, they glass worlds from orbit, and the only motivation we know for launching a ground invasion is for Forerunner relics. They also deploy warriors with cloaking devices. On the other hand, this could be similar to human nature. At the risk of posting flamebait, "Suicide bombing bad, drone strikes good." : To be fair to humanity in the setting, they've been under military rule for : nearly three decades. Come 'Glasslands', power seems to have returned to : the UEG (as opposed to the UNSC). But it does strike me as a militaristic : society inherantly. Heck, they even send soldiers on the 'Odyssey' in : early colonization. Because...you know, we need guns to protect us from : hostile atmospheres. And of course, the military's still : "bloated" over a century since the Rainforest Walls. *shrugs* Those troops could have been from the UNSC's equivalent of the Army Corp of Engineers.
