So from the context, I'm guessing Mickey froze up and refused to shoot an insurrectionist?

Fucking cunt. He should be court martialed.

The Rookie from ODST? I don't know his presence in the books, but he had no character in the game just like MC and almost everyone else.

Spoiler
Also the game was bad.

"You are young. I am old. I am dead."
What? No! How? What happened?
He was sent around to flank some Innies, and got captured in the process. He was being held hostage in order to get the rest of Alpha-9 to surrender. Instead, Buck ordered Mickey and Dutch to sneak around and get into position to attack. When he executed the maneuver, Mickey hesitated, and the Rookie was shot in the head as a result.
FUCK YOU MICKEY FUCK MICKEY FUCK YOU MICKEY FUCK YOU MICKEY FUCK YOU MICKEY FUCK YOU MICKEY AND FUCK THE FAGGOT THAT WROTE THE BOOK
Death to 343i, down with Forbeck, etc. etc.

Mickey just didn't want to kill humans. Instead of shooting the chick who had the Rookie hostage, he shouted at her to stop.

>spends years killing aliens with no problem
>hesitates to kill one human

Just give up, Mickey.
He was born during the Covenant war. Conflict with humans was as alien as the Covenant.

Exactly what he's fighting should be irrelevant. He's an ODST, the greatest, best-trained, no-nonsense bunch of (non-superhuman) badasses in the Haloverse. He should be able to shoot anything he's told to shoot. Hesitating at the last second and getting a squadmate killed is the exact opposite of everything the Shock Toopers were characterized as being up until this point.

This is the problem I'm having. Mickey should have been able to make the correct judgment in that scenario.
It's utterly ridiculous that he'd hesitate.

Except it isn't.

If you've grown up being told that aliens are the badies and need to die, then you're bound to have a lapse in judgement when it comes to killing a human.
It's just how humans work. I know you and the 343 hate wagon loves to grasp at shit, but seriously?

ODSTs aren't Spartans. They aren't indoctrinated from childhood and they don't lack their humanity.

The first thing soldiers are taught is to dehumanize their enemies.
The fact that the were fighting genuine non-humans should have nothing to do with it.
The UNSC has been skirmishing with innies for more than 50 years.

Except he'd also been told the Insurrectionists were the baddies that need to die, so this doesn't really hold up.

Having emotions doesn't stop soldiers from killing other soldiers, though. Especially special forces who were killing other humans from the moment they were assembled.






...And, tangentially, Spartans most definitely have emotions and humanity. That's what Halo 4's story was leading up to. Still a lot of mileage the story can get from the Spartans being expected to act like Terminators when they don't have the mindset for it, though.

The UNSC has been fighting Innies for decades, but Mickey hasn't fought Innies ever.

Quite a stark difference.

...And? After being told the Insurrectionists are 'the enemy' for years, and presumably being specifically trained to kill them alongside the Covenant, and considering she had a gun to his friend's head, I can't imagine this would matter to him much, especially in such a tense moment with that last detail.

If nothing else, he should have at least fired for the sake of his friend, instead of hanging back like he's trying to let her kill Rook.
