Reseña del libro "Why is a Colonel Called a Kernal? The Origin of American Ranks and Insignia (en Inglés)"
"Short. Quick. Entertaining. A marvelously fun read!" Raymond Oliver, then the Curator for the McClellan Aviation Museum (now the Aerospace Museum of California), was once asked by a colonel why her title was pronounced "kernal" and where her eagle insignia originated? That simple question began a quest to trace the development of various categories of rank. What began as a paper, however, soon developed into a booklet, which eventually wound up as this book. Have you ever asked yourself questions like: Why is Colonel pronounced "kernal"? Why does a Lieutenant General outrank a Major General? Why is Navy Captain a higher rank than Army-Air Force-Marine Captain? Why do Sergeants wear chevrons? If you are in the military, this book will give you a deeper appreciation for your rank and insignia-and you might find yourself wearing it with even more pride. If you have not been in the service, or are a family member of one who is, this book might help to put an historical perspective on the often confusing layers of rank. Either way: military, ex-military, soon-to-be military, friend or family... it's a delight!
