:The entire situation with the Human-Covenant War is essentially an [[wikipedia:Excession#Outside_Context_Problem|Outer Context Problem]]. To use examples from the events of World War Two is wrong: those empires/governments/factions are similar in terms of military technological achievement. The easiest and best example of understanding how the Human-Covenant War was fought is to look back to events during the expansion of the Old Empires (i.e. British, Spanish, Dutch, French) on native lands of the Americas, Indian Seas, Africa and the islands near Australia, where most native empires are driven to extinction. Military commanders have the tendency to be bold (and make rash decision) when they are technologically superior than their opponent, eventually underestimating their opponent's abilities (i.e. recent example being Afghanistan War and the '60s-'80s Vietnam War). — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 21:52, 30 October 2012 (EDT) | :The entire situation with the Human-Covenant War is essentially an [[wikipedia:Excession#Outside_Context_Problem|Outer Context Problem]].

::In the beginning of the war the covenant didn't even bother with a ground battle. They just glassed planets. In HW the Humans won because the sentinels wanted them to. The Covenant cared about earth due to the portal and not about other inner colonies. And again, the Humans won because the Forerunners set it all up. If the forerunners didn't pass the mantle then the covenant would have won. And the San'Shyuum "poisoned" the Sangheili minds by instilling the ideas of Honor during infancy. | |||
