I'm assuming it's due to how obvious they are. If anyone can't get WO ranks right, something is wrong with them.

Not sure why you'd laugh about WO ranks. They are the pilots of the Army. My former brother-in-law flew choppers in both Gulf Wars and transported wounded to MASH units. Not exactly sure why that is laughable.

I don't think you actually read the 2 previous comments. The subject was the name of the ranks, not their job.

Yes, what about Warrant Officers and Spec 5 and Spec 6 (and maybe Spec 7)?

SPEC 5, 6, and 7 are no longer used in the Army. In fact, SPEC 4 is now just called Specialist.

You might want to add in General of the Army. It IS only used in wartime, but still it is a rank regardless.

Ah yes, Warrant Officer 1, Chief Warrant Officer 2, Chief Warrant Officer 3, Chief Warrant Officer 4, and Chief Warrant Officer 5. Not too hard to get and the names are the same, except for lack of Chief in 1 and the numbers change.

Nope. There are First Lieutenants and Second Lieuteants, and First Lieutenants outrank Second Lieutenants.

I believe the Navy might only have one Lieutenant rank maybe?

If there was a rank of knight, I feel like more people would join the Army.
