Don't trust the propaganda they give to the marines Cloud. Spartans die. Not often, but they die, almost always in combat, not-as-always in their training, and quite some times when receiving the "upgrades" that make one a Spartan, or just "upgrading" to a more-recent "version", like Spartan II>Spartan III.

They just never tell this to the marines, because they have to look up to them. Saying an Spartan died would be like saying Superman died to a group of aspiring superheroes. Of course, many do end up MIA, just saying that they do end up KIA. Nothing important, just something that thicked me off a bit.

I suppose the AIs can copy their "memories" to something so when they die, it can be used to "revive" them. Like Hiro did with Baymax in Big Hero 6.
