[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Spike: [qb] Since they hadn't had enough money for new uniforms, West wore the uniform of a Vice Admiral. [/qb][/QUOTE]it would have been so goddamn easy for them to either 1)give him a captain pin/uniform and call him 'colonel', establishing he was a starfleet marine of a rank equivalent to naval captain. 2)give him the admiral pin and uniform, and call him 'general', establishing he was a Starfleet marine of a rank equivalent to naval admiral. just a thought.. Kirk got away with a grade reduction, in the years between TMP and TWOK, he commanded the Enterprise as an admiral, but was referred to as captain (probably more due to naval parlance, his position as ship's skipper).. perhaps this could hold true for Fleet infantry, calling a General 'Colonel' because he was taking charge of a force that would normally be commanded by a colonel? its a stretch. made more difficult by the fact that Kirk went ahead and wore a captain's insignia in TMP, giving himself a grade reduction (and doing the same to Decker, down to commander).. BTW, another thought, why he thought it necessary to do that to Will? since in ST:V and VI Kirk was a Captain and his executive, Spock, was also a Captain.. I guess Kirk just liked picking on Decker and demoted him accordingly. [/QB][/QUOTE]
