Well for one they do not have weak training, we actulyl don't know what there training is, but I'm going to assume it's similiar to the modern day U.S Marine Corps, which is not "weak" training. And they are not fodder, they considered "The Best of the Best" by the UNSC, which proably mean in terms of "normal" soldiers they proably the best Humanity can feild. Also the UNSC military more than likley doesn't have an equivilent of the Covonents Canon-Fodder Unggoy (Grunts). They face a war of extinction, so there not gonna have an entire military branch designated as Canon-Fodder. The closest thing they had to that was the Spartna III's even then they were sent on sucide missions which were considered critical to bye Humanity time.
