ok, if we put away the attitudes and call a ceasefire on the pissing contest we can just some it up this way: those that have spent time in or around the military understand that the rank structure is not designed around intelligence or ability. it is designed around job descriptions.

many career paths require an officer rank even though they are quite menial jobs and don't have much in terms of planning or leading. some career paths require enlisted rank even though the people in the field may have advanced degrees. they may spend their days doing logistical and strategic planning. you don't start as an enlisted guy, do really well at your job and become an officer. a commission is not a reward for a job well done.

the rank structure has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence and abilities. mmmkay?

now back to the actual topic if you all want.
