Due to the level of Authority given to O'Neal in the operations to stop Godzilla it has to be corrected that he was merely a SGT. Rather, Sergeant Major O'Neal would be the appropriate Rank since he worked directly under the command of Lt. Colonel Hicks in all Operations of said campaign. A Sergeant would not be in charge of as many soldiers as O'Neal clearly was, and his direct contact with Lt. Colonel Hicks gives credibility to my assertion.
