Consription in the Human-Covenant war

Why is it, that during a war against a technolgically superior enemy, hell bent on destroying the human race, the UNSC didn't think to start conscripting citizens? The main evidence for there being no conscription is the recruitment posters all over new mombassa.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Wolverfrog I don't know, mate. The Halo 3 Bestarium claims only 200 million humans are alive; I can't imagine there being planets full of people with a population like that. [/quote] That was an Earth statistic, and no more applicable to all Human worlds than the Gravity entry above it of 1G. 200 million Humans left alive was a silly number anyway. Bungie handwaved away a lot of stuff here. With half of a continent incinerated and all infrastructure, major cities, communications and all forms of logistics destroyed there's no way Human civilization would survive. Not a chance in hell. Forget all that Reclaimer crap and about recovering and advancing post Halo 3, Humanity's going straight back to the Stone Ages. That 200 million would get smaller and smaller and smaller as the people who don't have any knowledge about surviving in a post apocalyptic scenario, where nothing is available to you like it is just now, die off.
