Oh, fascinating! I learned a bunch of things, thank you. The marines are obviously there in so many shots and passages, but I never really had a good grip on what exactly their roles were; this clarifies things enormously.
And you embedded two of your vids, yay! I hoped you would.
This was going to be accompanied by quotes from the series for as much relevant material as I could glean to go with this, but I don't have enough time to hunting through all the books for what is, in most cases, no more than a short paragraph (if so much!) to do with Marines.
So, I got curious as to what those references might be, and started looking them up -- I have digital copies of the books, they're very easy to search -- and then because I was already there, I started copy-pasting the passages as I came across them. Quite a few of the roles you mention here are illustrated in various passages. Would you be interested in the file, and you could go through them as you please? If so, DM me an email address, and I'll send it to you.
