Re: He's about on par with a Major / Lt Colonel ... he just does not have a commision and is not in the officer chain of command. Think of him as a Master Plumber, Master Electrician or master machinist.

Gadzooks, it never ceases to amaze me how little people know about our military. I've come to realize the Liberal Media does even try to know anything other than their evil spew of lies, half-truths and outright lies...

During the first Gulf War I watched Wolfie Blitzer (Only CNN available then...) identify an F-15 Eagle taking off as an F-16. The F-15 has twin tails, the F-16 a single... Yet Wolfie didn't need to know the correct facts, he was on television! CNN and their traitorous media comrades still effect this policy...

Even with the internet allowing a few quick clicks to find almost any answer to any question, we still have people who should know better... Yet they still manage to ask the most asinine questions!

I know I am old fart, old school Conservative, Good Republican Texan and know more than anyone has a right to know about many fully automatic weapons, the military, contemporary history and the difference in taste of many brands of beers and cigarettes...

However, I shall jump off the soapbox and keep my big fat, loud mouth closed...

For about two or three minutes!

Don't believe him... He's just bluffing!

Yeah, and he's... a mean drunk!

Just in case any one wants to know about the Australian rank structure...



I told you... he was a mean drunk!

During the first Gulf War I watched Wolfie Blitzer (Only CNN available then...) identify an F-15 Eagle taking off as an F-16.

One of the network anchors bemoaned the plight of the 18 year old F-15 pilots and another worried about the battleship being hit by a scud missile. Those guys were clueless.
