It's Col. redding, not Major


Just saying.

reply

Which Redding?
And at which point in his career?
One of them was actually a Major General with 2 stars...

reply

Uh, Mickey Rourke"s character, during the movie timeline, is a Col.,not a major as the cast list described.

reply

He starts off as a Colonel... But does he not get promoted to Major as the film goes on?

reply

Major is a demotion.

reply

Sorry, typing on phone. I meant Major General.
But yeah, he definitely introduces himself as Col. AJ Redding right at the beginning, even though he's wearing a Major's oak leaves. Possibly on purpose... He's also listed as Colonel in the credits.

Maybe raise it as an error?

reply

Lt. Col wear silver oak leaves.

Oh well. Guess they *beep* up, then... never mind, eh!

reply

Lt. Col have silver oak leave and major gold. Gold is heavier than silver and hence below silver in rank.
