Section Two of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] has made a significant effort to keep the reports of Spartan soldier's deaths. This created a strong feeling among the general populace that Spartan's were invincible and could not die. Those that were killed were listed as MIA instead of KIA, and the effort has been largely successful in deceiving the human population. | Section Two of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] has made a significant effort to keep the reports of Spartan soldier's deaths.

''Note:'' Fortunately, we cannot assume that every Spartan assumed KIA is actually dead. Notice that many of them dissappeared under dire circumstances. Li-008, Anton-044, Vinh-030, and Joshua-029 are examples. They are assumed dead but the other charachters did not actually ''witness the spartans die''. | |||
''And, as Eric Trautmann once responded:'' | |||
"Re: Spartan strength: I am aware that there is an APPARENT discrepancy between the reported number of Spartans and the ACTUAL number of Spartans. | |||
Emphasis on ''''APPARENT.'''' ;) | |||
We leave lots of hooks for future development buried in the text, to accomodate several ideas/stories we have percolating. Some may see the light of day, some may not. | |||
In general, its best to chalk such discrepancies up to "the fog of war" and if we get the chance, we've got a great explanation for the apparent discontinuity." | |||
In other words, Those spartans who did not actually die in the novels...don't count them out just yet. | |||
