Commander is two ranks below General. They can’t even aspire to being the Washington Generals.

Commander is two ranks below General.

Actually, Commander is a Navy rank and is one rank below Captain. There are five levels of Admiral above Captain. In the Army, the equivalent rank to a Commander is a Lt. Colonel.

"Commander is two ranks below General."

To nitpick, Commander is two ranks below Admiral. You're thinking of Lt.Col which is the same pay grade as Commander in other services. Technically, you're correct.
