In fact, I was wrong that my parents contributed to my genetic traits in any way.

In addition, you're at the delusion UNSC tech was better before they met the Covenant.

You're wrong, wrong and did I mention wrong?

A good deal of the tech advancements are reverse-engineered Covenant tech, putting them at a greater advantage after the war. See the M-145D Rhino and it's 320mm Zeus Plasma Cannon, with engagement data used to further other projects.

In addition, a single Legion is almost never deployed in full force.

If you parents both have artificial hips, does that mean you were born with one? Surgical procedures are not passed down genetically.

I didn't mean they were at their technological peak, but rather peak in terms of economic and military power. Considering that half the human population died in the Covenant War, and all but a handful of human worlds were glassed, the UNSC pre war was stronger in terms of manpower available, and economic output, than it was post war. Sure the units they have might be better equipped than before the war, but their numbers are a fraction of what they were and the supporting infrastructure is ashes.
