All I'm saying is, I think that if we have any military force at all, we do what the game does and keep them at grunt, mercenary, hired-gun, etc., and don't take things out of hand with real ranks like captain and so on. And in case you folks haven't noticed, were not exactly doing what's in the movies... exempli gratia in the movie they don't have "second-in-commands" et cetera. Goldtimbers, you have a point, but I must disagree with both you and the movies. Having an informal military will not only reduce drama, but allow other groups like the marines and the real navy to have a "chance at the action".
