UNSC casualties?
Whenever I play halo I wonder...
I see marines get killed or a frigate get shot down and I think to myself "How many marines/frigates, can the UNSC afford to lose? Are there even any soldiers or ships to adequately replace this? can they even afford to suffer these casualties?"
Know what I mean?
UNSC gets casualties and I think, "How many more do we have to replace that?" or "These guys are dead is that it?"
I ask this because of the huge losses the unsc took against the covenant already

So they could probably afford to lose a LOT of soldiers.[/quote] You are probably right about the numbers, but think about it. The majority of those people were likely Glassed. [/quote]The UNSC usually evacuated civilians out of war zones. Soon after the first few glassings I'm sure they learned to evacuate civilians OFF the planets.[/quote] Yes you are right, but what about the Planets where the Covenant Fleet turned up unexpected, say Reach for example. The Corvette does not count as the Fleet by the way. [/quote]They try. They can't get 100% of the population out, but some were saved. I still think the majority of casualties were military ones. There were entire colonies the Covenant missed as well, and they only went after important ones in general (like Reach). [/quote] This IIRC i read something that Earth as not the last Human colony, just one of the last important ones.
