All the marines were already dead, Carter was already extremely injured, and Emile was already shown to be a cocky bastard. Halo Reach was terrible story wise, but the deaths at least made a minuscule of sense if you paid attention. Except for Kat, Kat's made no sense.

[quote]The first three are actually pretty true though. Jorge really could have had a Marine start the bomb. Carter could have just jumped out as well. And Emile could have easily killed the Elite if he wasn't so busy not caring.[/quote]
