Regardless of the structural parallels, I'm not really comfortable comparing the Spartans, hugely successful but scarce supersoldiers, to the group that named the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy trope and personify Conservation of Ninjutsu. -- [[User:Specops306|<b><font color=indigo>Specops306</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>Qur'a 'Morhek</sup></font></i></u>]] 05:29, 10 June 2012 (EDT) | Regardless of the structural parallels, I'm not really comfortable comparing the Spartans, hugely successful but scarce supersoldiers, to the group that named the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy trope and personify Conservation of Ninjutsu. -- [[User:Specops306|<b><font color=indigo>Specops306</font></b>]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>Qur'a 'Morhek</sup></font></i></u>]] 05:29, 10 June 2012 (EDT) | ||
:If anything, the Stormtroopers (a semi-autonomous force that fights alongside the other branches of the armed forces, responsible for strategic assaults and boarding actions) are more comparable to Marines. Wookieepedia even makes the comparison.--[[User talk:The All-knowing Sith'ari|The All-knowing Sith'ari]] 08:18, 10 June 2012 (EDT) | :If anything, the Stormtroopers (a semi-autonomous force that fights alongside the other branches of the armed forces, responsible for strategic assaults and boarding actions) are more comparable to Marines.

::I agree with Specops. Making comparisons to the real-world is one thing, but fictional ones are more dubious, because the criteria is more iffy and if one comparison is made, the no. of other comparisons to other medias stretches ad infinitum.--[[User talk:Hawki|Hawki]] 08:41, 10 June 2012 (EDT) | ::I agree with Specops.

So it appears that Sarah Palmer, the Spartan CO aboard ''Infinity'', was formerly a Marine and currently holds the rank of Commander (which does not exist in the Marine Corps), does anyone else agree that the ranking scheme of the new Spartans home branches don't carry over into Spartan Branch? Rather, they have an independent, original, and potentially simplified structure for themselves? Most, if not all, of the Fours mentioned so far do not have any rank, just a title of "Spartan" prefixed to their full name. {{User:Grizzlei/Sig}} | So it appears that Sarah Palmer, the Spartan CO aboard ''Infinity'', was formerly a Marine and currently holds the rank of Commander (which does not exist in the Marine Corps), does anyone else agree that the ranking scheme of the new Spartans home branches don't carry over into Spartan Branch?

:I agree that the Spartan branch must use its own hierarchy, with a recruit's former rank being discarded à la the SAS. It makes sense for the branch to use Navy ranks, considering its ONI roots.

::Exactly what I was thinking actually. :P Either that, or Lieutenant Colonel has been replaced by the Commander rank in the post-war Marine Corps. {{User:Grizzlei/Sig}} | ::Exactly what I was thinking actually. :P Either that, or Lieutenant Colonel has been replaced by the Commander rank in the post-war Marine Corps. {{User:Grizzlei/Sig}} | ||

::I agree. Also makes more sense to say that the UNSC covers sea, land, and space, rather than the Spartans. --[[User:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">'''NightHammer'''</span>]]''<sup>[[User talk:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(talk)</span>]]</sup><sup>[[Special:Contributions/NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(contribs)</span>]]</sup>'' 09:56, 3 March 2017 (EST) | ::I agree.
