Why is the symbol for Captain difficulty an eagle ?

[Philippeatbay]

The symbol for lieutenant difficulty is a captain's bars. (??!!)

The symbol for captain difficulty is a colonel's eagle (??!!)

Come on guys, those symbols actually mean something, and anyone who's been in the American military (and many who haven't) know what they mean.



[But I'm not going to start a thread about how your marketing department uses the wrong American flag in all of its promotional videos. How would you feel about a video that used the cross of St. George instead of the Union Flag]?

Is this image wrong about the Navy ranks then?

[MarechalJoffre]

Captain is essentially a Colonel in the Navy, so nothing wrong there.

For the US Marines xpack, we are using the army rank names.

As is probably obvious by now, everyone in my family was either in the Army, Army Air Corps, or Marines in WW II. I guess I'm just not used to seeing naval officers in khaki.
