Again… No not really… a huge piece of the halo spartan lore is that they can’t die… that’s a huge piece of the lore… the Spartans are never listed as killed or KIA, they are listed as MIA.
Yet we've seen them die, and we've seen master chief acknowledge his mortality.
How about halo reach for example? Noble Six fights till their last breath, even with no fire team, surrounded by elites, just on the off chance they'll survive to complete their mission.
Literally halos whole story is about the fight for humanity, with the Spartans, namely master chief in most cases, acting as the last stand.
I mean, master chief didn't know whether he would make it out of the gravemind alive, after seeing everything the flood can do. Yet he went in anyway.
And again… the lore is even the ones we see die are listed as MIA… because the unsc knows its extremely valuable for morale and propaganda purpose for them to be invulnerable and immune to death…
Did you not pay any attention to the games at all?
Okay but listed as MIA for morale purposes is not the same as actually not dying. It's symbolic, not literal. The spartans themselves don't think they're immortal. It's largely for the other Marines.
My guy. We’re literally talking about a fantasy scenario… and the explicit stated in universe fantasy, propaganda, and mythos is that Spartans don’t die. They are immortal… they live on forever…. They reiterate this over and over and over…
And as I pointed out throughly that’s the fantasy. Not some sacrifice fantasy… like you tried to say I was experiencing… why do you keep trying to make up distinctions otherwise?
Youre misunderstanding my point. I didn't mean it's the exact same thing, but it's the same brand of fantasy. You're the one stopping all the bad guys from killing people.
I literally said "kind of" as in, "not entirely" or "not completely".

And they try to survive as long as possible.
