 * Unfortunately, the basis of this article is entirely unrealistic. The core concept - that of a Sangheili child raised by a human family and accepted into the human military as one of their own - is implausible and unworkable within site policy. To detail:
 * Rtas is a Sangheili name. Given the extremely slow progression of Human translation software, it is effectively impossible for a newborn Sangheili to convey its given name to human personnel, especially a marine NCO lacking any sort of translation equipment or experience.
 * is a human colony. It was first by Covenant forces in 2531, and subsequently abandoned. At some point it was resettled by non-government personnel (an independent colony), and used to export foodstuffs until it was ultimately glassed by the Covenant when they  in 2549. Given the completeness of the Covenant withdrawal following their initial invasion and the eighteen-year gap between that invasion and their return, it is highly unlikely that any sort of outpost would be established.
 * On that note, Sangheili children are raised at home, usually on ; the presence of a child in a military installation, especially some far-flung and unimportant outpost, is implausible. It simply doesn't work.
 * The smuggling of any member of a Covenant species - and thereby potentially revealing the location of Earth, a closely guarded secret - would likely constitute treason and incur the most severe of consequences imaginable. There is also the extreme difficulty of smuggling an alien to Earth and getting past the increasingly paranoid Office of Naval Intelligence.
 * NOTE: Sierra-117 and company returned to Human space as ordered by the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations, and were not "smuggling" Huragok past any sort of Human customs.
 * How exactly does a Human go about raising a Sangheili, without access to the normal foodstuffs necessary for Sangheili growth and development? Rtas can't exactly tell Mrs. Jenkins what food will help him grow and what food will poison him or otherwise stunt his growth.
 * The Office of Naval Intelligence would not tolerate for an instant a Sangheili in a "normal" public school system, let alone allow a Sangheili to move freely in a human settlement. Similarly, I doubt any community would be so understanding and accepting of a member of a species that has killed literally hundreds of millions of humans.
 * The same goes for any chance of a Sangheili joining a Human military academy - he would be even more likely to face prejudice, hatred, and rejection under war-time conditions.
 * Given his supposed entrance into active duty in 2551; it is impossible for Rtas to participate at Harvest, as the campaign ended in 2531. Also, what happens when Covenant Sangheili encounter one of their own fighting alongside the Humans? No explanation is given for this possibility, though with the overall impossibility of it, none need be attempted.
 * For Rtas to be an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, he would likely require a custom-built pod, something the resource-low United Nations Space Command is unlikely to invest in.
 * They do not make MJOLNIR armor for Sangheili.
 * Spartan rank is a game stat; unless Rtas is playing Halo 4, he isn't going to have any sort of "spartan rank".
