+'''Wounded in Action''', better known as "'''WIA'''", is a classification used by the [[United Nations Space Command]] to denote service members that have been wounded during a battle situation. Being Wounded in Action will result in being rewarded with a [[Purple Heart]].
-When Spartans became missing or were killed they were classified as [[Missing In Action]] (MIA) or Wounded in Action (WIA) to give the illusion that [[Spartan MIA Protocol|Spartans never die]]. It also gave the troops of the UNSC more morale.
+When [[SPARTAN-II]]s are killed, they are reported Missing in Action or Wounded in Action to create the illusion that [[ONI Directive 930|Spartans never die]]. This was designed to help boost morale for the [[UNSC]].<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 249''</ref> It is extremely likely that all [[Spartans]] have been wounded in action at some point.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]'''</ref>
-It is extremely likely that all Spartans have been wounded in action at some point. <ref>[[Halo: First Strike]].</ref> One SPARTAN, [[Spartan-Cassandra|Cassandra]], is considered one of the WIA.
