I was just wondering how these super soldiers were created, then I thought, are these super soldiers so heavily drugged that they're emotionless killing machines? Depending on what happens can a spartan cry or breakdown at the slightest bit? Even for SPARTAN-II's?
I never read the books, so I'd appreciate it if you experts explain this stuff to me :)

Got banned, fathomable bump. What about SPARTAN-III's since their augmentations are on a lower level.
-
I think MC got a tad 'angry' with SGT. Johnson in First Strike. What with him being alive and all.
-
I belevie so. If I remeber correctly, jhon tried to get a ship that was just attack to search for James, who shot off when a needler round hit his TAC-PAC, causing him to spiral out of contral. Also, as stated before, Lucy went mute in grief.

*Stabs foot* *WAHH!!*

I'm pretty sure there's a lot of unseen crying and devastation going on before someone goes mute from trauma, unless it's immediate trauma such as shellshock. Spartans never cry, Jorge... They just haven't the time to.

Spartans never cry, There just missing emotions.

When emile is shooting things the pillar of autum you can her him say things like "that was for kat!" Or "this ones for jorge!" I assume he was very angry and sad about their deaths. [Edited on 12.11.2010 10:49 AM PST]

I'd like to think that Carter was silently crying when Cortana chose Six and not him... the look of jealousy on that visor, oh my. OT: Yes, they could cry if they wanted to. But Fred notes in GoO that Spartans are made to focus on the next mission and the larger strategic image of the war.

maybe their tearglands were removed... wait no their eyes would dry out and they would be blind *contiues thinking intensly*

As the Spartans in ancient Greece, the Spartans have been trained to show no fear, or grief, or they are viewed as weak. They are taught only to be strong and to put their emotions aside, and focus more on the salvation and protection of humanity.

This is all interesting.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] simonfisher7 if i remember rightly master Chief has ADD (attention defict disorder) and generally people with ADD dont extrovert (show) very many emotions and if they do it's ussually anger (but i could be wrong)[/quote]I have ADD and I rarely ever get violently angy, and as a kid I was a complete crybaby (although I actually cant remember the last time ive cried, its been years). I dont think your facts are quite straight

im sure they can, but they dont.

I'm pretty sure she teared up. PROMETHEUS and TORPEDO were like two of the most sentimental battles ever. Seeing Shane fighting with Jane and Robert like that...and then Tom and Lucy's survival. Those just really got to me. And then Noble Team screwed both of those battles for me because other members of the company were still alive...[/quote]I don't think she cried, but she did go mute, which was what SnoFall was referring to, I think. And regarding Noble Team; "Pulled before the battle". Seems a little "meh" for an excuse, but it'll do.

Can SPARTAN-IIIs breakdown at the slightest bit? Since their augmentations are on a lower level.
-
Like... I forgot, someone's post... Soldiers will not cry on the battlefield, but off-wargrounds is a different situation. Before MC got in Johnson's Pelican to leave to exploding eighth halo ring, he may have cried under the mask.

spartans never cry...

Jun is a rationalist.

Spartans, to my knowledge, can cry. They do experience emotions, and normal feelings. They're just faster, stronger, smarter, taller, awesomer, they "suited up!", and they're in control. They've been trained to hide it. I'd say under intense, uncontrollable stress or pain, Spartans would show emotion and/or cry. Difference being, where it takes x amount for a regular human to show emotion, Spartan training probably makes them a hundred times less likely to show emotions. Maybe more.
