You don’t always have to say their entire rank. Unless in a formal setting, or in a training situation.

Not trying to be a pedantic asshole, not trying to be That Guy, but there were a number of battles in Korea where armor made a great difference. In the very first significant battle involving US troops, at Osan, Task Force Smith was shattered and overrun by the North Koreans, in large part due to their force having brought a battalion of Russian T34s, and the scraped-together American light infantry battalion that opposed them had very little in the way of antiarmor weapons, and what few they had were a handful of rifle grenades too light to get through the T34’s armor, plus a few obsolete M1 and M9 60mm rocket launchers, which were worn-out leftovers from the war in Europe, for which they had almost no ammunition. There were other factors–the US troops were green and poorly trained by a US government that believed after 1945 that there would never be another war, and broke when a better trained, better disciplined force might have held.
 
Also look at battles like Chipyong-ni, where a numerically superior Chinese attacking force (six divisions, versus a single reinforced regiment–the US troops were outnumbered something like twenty to one) was cut off and “ringed in steel” by US armor, trapped in a pocket where artillery and air power could inflict heavy casualties and force Chinese commanders to break off the attack and retreat.
 
Also, one of the US support weapons the Chinese feared most was an armored vehicle–the antiaircraft halftracks with the quad .50 HMG in a turret. US Marines called them “Thor’s Lawnmower.”

How are you being a dickhead, exactly?

The rank on the helmet is staff sergeant. I had to be the dickhead here.

Partial to Sir Briggs, myself.

The Korean War. Where tanks didn’t matter and jet vs jet dogfights where the only cool thing that ever happened. Also that’s not how you spell Bucephalus.
