Talk:Starfleet ranks (2270s-2350s shoulder insignia)

Rank titles
Shouldn't we change these titles from Admiral to General, Captain to Colonel, Ensign to 2nd Lieutenant and such? You know Marines - they like to think they are their own branch of the military. ha ha (and I say this as the son-in-law of a US Marine.) --Sneg 14:06, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Not really. They were portrayed as part of SF in the movie, so they use SF ranks. Why? I don't know. The Shatman directed TFF, so ask him. --Kevin W. 23:42, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think the "commandos" were ever addressed (verbally) but in Trek VI we did have Colonel West (in the uncut version). --Sneg 23:56, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Whose rank made no sense whatsoever since he wore the insignia of a VAdm. --Kevin W. 00:36, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
