Rank

The article mentions him as a Lt. Col. (and specifically a U.S. one), however it does not explain when he reached this rank. He was obviously not a US Army Lt. Col., he was a PFC there from what I know. In Rhodesia he was a Captain, which is confirmed by the insignia on his uniform. In the SADF the article says he was a Major, which is plausible, but he could not have been a Lt. Col. in South Africa because there was no such rank in the SADF, the equivalent rank was (and still is?) called Commandant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.233.139.169 (talk) 21:09, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
