[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] KillgSpree56 Well because of several things, the time he spends fighting the covenant that coensides witht the training of Spartan3s, [/quote] We don't know how much time he spent fighting the Covenant aside from Harvest and what we've seen in the Halo games. Additionally, I don't think he spent all those years just training SIIIs. [quote] the lack of mention of Akherson at all, [/quote] There was probably no reason for Ackerson to be interested in Johnson in 2525. [quote] Not to mention the very end of the book saying that hes going to finally become the soldier that everybody needs him to be in order to lead the war against the covenant. [/quote] But do we know that he actually does go spend all his time fighting the Covenant? No. We don't. All the evidence indicates that Johnson and COALMINER are the same person.
