Was that our first exposure to a non-soldier Cardassian? I know he was military, but like a clerk or something. I think he really added some color to Cardassians, who up until that point were nothing but a one-dimensional fascist military race.
We had seen Garak already, depending on how you would classify him.
I'd classify Garak as Military. While he isn't a soldier per se him being a Spook (Especially a Cardie Spook) means he was directly involved in tactical ops.
Marritza by contrast was doing a decidedly civilian job (file clerk) and most likely only ever participated in combat during training.
I love the idea of Garak reading that and being disgusted at being called part of the military. The obsidian order looks down on the military as Guileless Brutes.
Had their own fleet too. Garak would probably like it more if you called him a simple tailor with a wink than a soldier.
I'd call him whatever he wanted to be called, and often. 😏
I don't know what you're talking about. He's just a simple tailor.
