If you eliminate blue-shirts from your army as hasbro was attempting to do in '86, then Vipers would be the bottom. As a collector from the very beginning who had plenty of both, I've never read anything on the cards, comics or in the cartoon to indicate that blue-shirts rank above ANYONE.
So while you might believe some of these things to be facts, in reality that is just your opinion, one which you are completely entitled to, but please don't project your opinion on everyone else as 'fact' and talk down to the rest of us. My disagreeing with you doesn't make me 'confused', it means that I don't agree with your version of the 'facts'.
Most collectors I know universally consider blue-shirts to be the very bottom. If you disagree, so be it, but your opinion is no more fact than anyone else's. This thread did ask about the 'actual' structure, but I guess from this discussion that even that is up for debate. The 25th file cards only support what I've always believed to be true since '82. That's how my army is structured because it's what I believe to be true, not just some fantasy I made up. Again, your army might be different, but that's clearly based on your interpretation.
That pretty much sums it up. I couldn't have said it better myself.
