OK. Put it like this. If what Del Rio did was so great then why was he fired when they got back to Earth and Lasky given command? Because Del Rio sucked.

That's what your mom said last night even though that makes no sense and I need my parents' permission to leave the house.

I agree with Uni, but one last thing Infinity couldn't get close to Mantle's Approach WITH its shields up. So how could Infinity get close with it's shields DOWN?.. And what if they failed who would or could warn Earth? Oh and Del Rio was chosen because he followed protocol. Del Rio lost his command because he violated his oath, he left a man, the one that saved humanity, behind.

No, he was fired because some shithead in 343 thought that it would be a good idea to have an human antagonist and because the UNSC Hight command is filled with morons, he didn't suck get this throught your thick head, I have debated about this issue at least 3 times already and there's always some moron that thinks that because he didn't help us he was a coward, or hated us or something else, but he was following protocol, that's what actual officers would have done, there was no reason to trust a rampant AI and a foot soldier, by all means he should have been fired if he actually had listened to chief, but then he would be dead, so it doesn't matter.

I don't understand the personal attack there. All have you know that my skull is of perfect length, width and depth. And my mental age is well above 8 and 12. (http://en.wikipedia....on_(psychology)) "and used to describe a person with a mental age in adulthood of between 8 and 12 on the Binet scale."

I think this topic's been exhausted. It's fiction and therefore ALL OF IT IS FUCKING UNFOUNDED SPECULATION. And Halo's not exactly what one would describe as hard science fiction.

I honestly hate all threads like this.

Can we just leave it at Keyes > Lasky > Del Rio?

Sorry, I'm Tired and kind of stressed out. I have also been on this argument several times so I'm tired of it, let's try this in a more respectfull way.
What I am trying to say is that while Del Rio made a bad call, he was following protocol and trying to save his crew from potential danger, so while may not be the brightest officer in the fleet, he is certainly not as incompetent as you're making him out to be, same issue with glassman, the only reason that he got fired ( most likely executed considering that the UNSC was kind of a police state by the end of the war) was due to poor writing, do you get what I'm saying.

Edit: Yeah, I think it's better if a Mod locks this thread already.

This is unacceptable. Be adults here. Locking thread.
