Important, IMO, detail left out of this account:  the Marines in
question were all wearing power armor (battle dress), so they weren't in
/direct/ danger (much).  It was still a reckless, but effective, thing
to do, and this was near the start of Roger proving that he wasn't just
a useless fop (having never really gotten the chance to live up to the
family name until then, only his jerk of a father's).

... they're fun books, I like 'em.  A series of grand adventures and
remarkable journeys, Roger's personal development possibly first among
them.  (But Rastar, gunslinging last prince of lost Therdan, is still my
personal favorite for "coolest character". :)
