Sorry for chiming in on this one Kim, but I'm curious to your opinions to this. What would be your thoughts if I went to the state protectorate, enlisted, and made the same rank as you? Mind you I'm a Spike lieutenant for the TLF currently and any possible reason for me joining would be for nothing more than isk and cheap hook bills unless something major popped out that made me convert my loyalties. I would still hold that rank in the state if I switched sides either way. Would you be forced to honor the rank, since I'm under the impression your saluting the rank not the person? I don't have any follow-up questions at this time for that and no I'm not trying to create any. I'm simply trying to follow what I've seen as one of your stances on this. |

It's harder to make chief latrine cleaner in any military than it is to become a militia general on paper.
I concur, just a measurement of a privateers loyalty to a side. To some people however it holds more sway though. I guess some people just need that structure or something... |

If you will hold a rank in the State, will be fighting among us and wll behave like us, yes, I will salute you. It doesn't matter who you are. What does matter is what you do. Even if the State isn't your home, but if you wear State insignia and fight enemies of the State, this will mean you deserve to be honored. Just for this.
Thanks for the clarification! Please excuse my gauging if veils opinions on the matter are more widespread on a military level. Hope that makes sense... |
