I don't think we've ever seen anything that states that a viper is lower than E-4 Equiv. (not sure how gunslingercbr came up with that, not a single Viper has ever had a rank designation on the filecard), and when E-4 Equiv was put on the original blue-shirt's file card, E-4 was the lowest ranking given to any Joe (and is still the lowest as far as I know). So I don't think that indicates the blue-shirts are higher-ranked than anyone at Cobra.
I'm just reading the file cards, and it doesn't make sense that a 'superbly trained and formidably equipped' Viper would advance to become 'the most basic bottom-of-the-barrel soldiers in the Cobra regime.'
Again, to each his own, but that's my take.
