Chinese Army has Brigadier General, Major General, Lieutenant General, General, General of the Army, and Field Marshal... Nazi Germany had same thing, except there were ranks above Field Marshal (such as the specialized rank given to Heinrich Himmler). ugen64 23:24, Oct 12, 2003 (UTC)

Regarding the UK officer ranks template

Is this really a good idea? The world doesn't revolve around the U.K. The rank is in use in multiple services of multiple nations. -Joseph (Talk) 05:45, 2004 Nov 17 (UTC)

Plus the template is nigh on unreadable. Seems pointless. -Joseph (Talk) 05:52, 2004 Nov 17 (UTC)

Why is it pointless? Template:US enlisted ranks has been around since April and nobody has had a problem with it. james_anatidae 06:16, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)

Yes. They should either all stay or all be removed. Given the existence of the US template, it's rather ironic that this one should face an accusation of being UK-centric. Indeed the world doesn't revolve around the UK, but neither does it revolve around the USA. And it's perfectly readable. -- Necrothesp 10:41, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I didn't see that one. They should both not be included in generic ranks. -Joseph (Talk) 12:58, 2004 Nov 17 (UTC)
