They use Army Ranks here. That is not right either. Naval ranks should be used. But hey, that is the way it is here!

Which isn't right either since in the U.S. Military space belongs to the Air Force! hehe

That may be, but the first fleet of war ships that leave near earth orbit will be commanded by an Admiral. If you need to attack a far off target, then the Air force is up for the job. But if you are in the business of projecting power and influence, then you call the navy. Besides, the Air force needed to get the space defense job. In this day and time, their two legs of the triad are obsolete in every event but an all out first strike. Boomers carry the bulk of our deliverable weapons of mass destruction. Sure the Air force gets the tactical bombing jobs, but there is not a lot of glamour in carpet bombing with BUFF’s, and at today’s prices, we wont be seeing anymore large fleets of heavy bombers. Like the battlewagon, they have had their day. And regardles of what happens, when the time comes to kick butt and take names, it will be grunts applying the boot to the butt!
