Can you elaborate a little more? I mean I know there are issues with rank that seems to drive everyone crazy but what issues are/were there?

Duke is the prime example. He's portrayed as the Joe teams First Sargeant, or Top Sargeant, but he's not the highest ranking Sargeant on the Joe team. Without a promotion, Duke is WAY down the ladder.
There's no way he'd be as high in the command structure as he's shown in the cartoon. RoC gave him a couple of promotions, first Captain in the prequel and then Major in the movie. Dusty is only an E-4, pretty low for a specialist. And the ranks for the same characters flucuated up and down, sometimes it just seemed random.

Ah, gotcha. In the comic was he a sargeant. Didnt he take over command from Hawk when the original 13 were put on desk duty?

Was supposed to take field command with Hawk getting promoted to General, but Duke didn't really show up often in the comics.

Right, but I meant more in the fact that he was the "specialist" desert trooper and it would make more sense for the environment guy to have some kind of leadership rank so they could command, instead of being "low on the chain" so to speak.
