Something tells me if I called my father, whose 20+ years AF, and asked him if he was offended that I had the same rank as he had, just on e90post, he would die laughing.

Well, really, he'd tell me to do something else more constructive with my life besides sitting on e90post and replying to posts like this... but seriously.

You spelled that wrong, given the thread subject.

I put this idea in my User Title, now at least one other guy has followed suit, and I got a PM agreeing. In a few hours.

This is offensive to people who are in the military (or were) and earned their rank with far greater difficulty than post whoring. And their supporters aren't going to like this cheapening either.

It is also offensive to people who don't want to be associated with the military and may have strong beliefs in that direction.

In fact, it seems the only people it would appeal to are those who want to play soldier, but not pay the price.

I know you can change your User Title (I did!), and I know this isn't an earth-shaking issue, but how about going to a conventional "senior member" type rank, or even go creative. A motorcycle board I frequent uses terms like "hooligan". But military ranks? Just bad taste.

Dude, seriously... I'm an active duty US Marine and I just got back from 9 months of hell in Afghanistan and all I have to say is WHO GIVES A SHIT?

If some 20 year old college kid driving his parents M3 wants to have "BRIGADIER GENERAL" as his user text on a BMW website, who fucking cares? Put on my uniform and wear my rank, then i'll be pissed. But otherwise, it doesn't fuckin matter.

Glad to have you back safe, Accord. Now be safe over there in the USA.
