The Covenant will defeat our entire species if we do not invest in our future. They are a serious threat and we stand no chance with our current military hardware. After the last Elite is dead and the last grunt is screaming then and only then can we worry about the Promethean threat. These ancient forerunnner warriors lead by the blood thirsty Didact will destroy our entire planet if we do not manage to create enough super soldiers. Just like the famous Spartan Jon-117 has shown the key to having the strongest super soldiers is kidnapping children at a very young age to train and experiment on them. You don't have to worry about the parents because their child can be replaced by a "flash clone" which will get very sick and die soon after the cloning giving the parent closure.
