Mine is Lt COL

I read somewhere that Captain is the best rank because you're still out in the field with the men and respected by the brass.

But I dunno enoughto form my own opinion.

I wouldn't be anything higher then a Capt. because I would still want to be out on the field. But in truth I would rather be out on the field and something lower then a Capt. so I wasn't in complete control.

General of the Army.

Commander in Chief, beat that Redneck

Dictator. BA-ZING!

How about the CEO of Microsoft? sheesh, screw that bullet and bomb thing...

Actually, I always thought that an E-7 Enlisted in the American armed forces actually had more power and authority than some officers ranks.

I always admired and wanted to be a warrant officer...but the Air Force just didnt have them. And i really didnt want to join the army or the navy. I later found out that most airmen didnt know what one was anyway

I'm with you on the Microsoft issue.

Our AG sergeant here used to work in the Pentagon and he said that you would see four stars being sent on coffee runs by civilian contractors, so I don't really think I'd like to spend 30 odd years of my life working up to General just to be relegated to go-fer.

Just to beat off GuyontheRight I would say the most powerful authoritative position a human person could be would have to be given to the Antichrist. :P But I would prefer to be a 4 or 5 star general. they can still be at the front with their troops and you have lots of power.
