Duke's persona and character befits a veteran sergeant (I have him as a CSM E-9), but the authority he wields through most of the series better reflects that of field officer (Major to Colonel). I thought making him some punk captain in ROC was pretty crummy. That wasn't Duke at all.

I have never been in the service but I "think" I understand ranks as in I have done research and (i know its a cartoon) but didnt Lt Falcon have it right in the movie when pulled rank on duke who was putting him on guard duty?
or do rookie LTs have to take orders from NCOs?

I like him as both an Officer and Enlisted. Duke has made it to both O-4 Major and E-9 SGM on the file cards. Now IDW made him a full bird. My main problem is all the other figures that outrank him that I like. Sure as an E-9 he and Gung-Ho, Stalker, Altitude, Mercer and Rock'n'Roll make good company. But I never liked the idea of him taking orders from anyone other than Hawk, so I leave that role for Stalker. I disregard the cartoon ranking system entirely even though that is what gives me the perception of him having a higher rank. The military is all about rank. But there were hardly any characters that outranked Duke as an E-8 through most of the early years. The ones who did were not combat infantry officers.
