I have thought about this as well. Other than the Reds and Blues secretly wanting to be there, they were all recruited from the lowest of the low. They are pulled from the worst test scores and training performances. The UNSC wouldn't want them any way. It seems pretty cruel not to discharge them, but maybe they wanted to stay.
