If you want to fight, you might be better off as a Major or Colonel. When I was a kid, Colonel was my favorite idea of a rank, for much the same reason. If I were a warrior, I’d rather be in a pre-gunpowder era, though, since I don’t fancy being suddenly killed by artillery or snipers. So I’d prefer to be a prince or **** or chieftain. Since I’d probably rather not have to go to war, preferably someplace out of the way that doesn’t get called to war much if at all.
