You seriously need to get a grip of how things actually work, I can only presume your arrogance prevents this, coupled with a general lack of reak world experience.

An example. You mention how a trainee was reassigned and speak as if this is only for tens, maybe hundreds. This is the indication from the book, this is true. But this is where you seem to shut the door on that line of thought. It in fact opens the gate to the fact that this is a possible cause of action (reassignment). Your level of scope is limited for some reason.

It is painful to see you gob off about canon this, canon that but the simple matter of fact is that just because it isn't written yet, doesn't mean it didn't happen. Canon sources are only as good as the last book they are in and the overall image we have of the subject can be added to OR reduced OR changed by the next book.

Yes, taking a experienced, conditioned marine and sticking them into another organisation would be tricky but if they never knew there parent legion, because it was destroyed before they arrived at it. Or they had no possible opportunity to go to their previous, intended location, they natual urges to adapt would make it so. You'd always get dissenters.

Irrespective of all your gibberish about the current legions and how they worked etc etc, you can't say the fallen legions wouldn't take very many Terrans etc etc, BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW, it hasn't been written. Thus, abit like schrodinger's cat, the fallen legions could have been nearly all Terran, nearly all newbies but just a hardened cadre went rough so were..disposed of. On the flip side, it could all be a red heron.

You and I simiply can not know. Lots of people get this and the evidence points both ways do I'm semi-puzzled by your bull-headedness of positoion
