Well, you could look at it as a practical vs theoretical argument. I look at it as a realistic vs unrealistic argument. I suppose my view is colored by my actual experience in the military. I should really be more open-minded.

Seriously, your last argument about Duke possibly not even being a 1ST SGT is more on target I think.
