In Response To: Re: Diplomats of Might (Hedgemony) : The ODST's were deprived of funding by the UNSC in favor of the spartan
So maybe the argument goes like this. The Spartan II project and MJOLNIR project are better suited to fight the enemies of the future than ODST's project. They want to blow up everything, but we are talking about human lives here, because the enemy of the future is not an army or nation, it is terrorists and criminals. This enemy operates within population centers and we need smart weapons, weapons with enough selection to tell friend from foe. Gentlemen I give you the Spartans. Hey why isn't this armor good enough for you ONI folks...
Now the truth is (drum roll... okay it is just speculation but I'm trying to set the mood): ONI has discovered the ruins of an ancient civilization calle the Forerunners. Along with that is possitive proof that other alien races exist. We need to create AIs and cyborgs that can interface with the computer systems of the Forerunners and other races. The Spartan II project can fund our needs well. The armor, well it needs to hold a ship level AI and we want to adapt our newly discovered shield technology to it too. So the previous MJOLNIR armor models are prototypes for show and to keep funding going on the project because ONI wants to keep the real technology a secret for as long as possible. : I don't think the econmics of earth and it's colonies is really explored in
