Subject: [FH] Military ranks
Has anyone got a good resource for military ranks for the major languages (English French Italian German Spanish Russian Chinese(S)Japanese Korean)? Trying to figure out what the FSE would call a private, for instance, or what the ESU would name a platoon sergeant.

Here's something you'll really like:)
http://www.rankinsignia.info/
Basically the ranks and insignia of most countries in the world, not only
military, but also police and correctional personnel. They even have rank
insignia for Star Trek!
Item ob du ainen pauren wild schaczen so vass im dy haut zu samen an seinen
hals und stich im dar durch, als hie gemalt stet so maint er man hab im denn
hals ab geschnitten und schat nit

Yup, you gotta love a site that has the ranks and insignia of the Salvation
Army:) Reminds me of Austin Powers: "the militant wing of the Salvation Army".

Oh really? Hmm... I don't know. The PLA Army insignia as of 2000 matches
another source I have, and the US Army seems to be correct. Maybe their info
sources on charity organizations aren't as good as the military ones.
