Never heard of such a thing.
Now, you have.
No need to thank me. I'm always glad to help.

Fuck you, that ain't nothing American, bitch!Now, you have.
There's non-coms and commissioned officers, but not "grandees" here.
NCO or CO is how it is here.

Is that so?
The term derives from old Spanish and Portuguese terms. In English, its use is now quite common.

@Dutch Uncle claims to have been a CO. I find it hard to believe him.

The term 'grandee' became part of the English lexicon around the 1590's, stemming from Portugese.
It refers to a noble of the highest rank (a 'grand noble'). There are no nobles or other titles of nobility in the United States (other than the use of the word 'czar', which refers to a dictator, and is used as an unofficial 'title' for some bureaucrats (unconstitutionally). The title 'czar' for a bureaucrat was started by Democrats in media.
The word 'grandee' is not commonly used, since it refers to an obsolete title of nobility.

Oddly, it does appear to be used quite a bit in the British press, so...
If you want to argue that doesn't mean it's widely- used, go ahead. The language you and I are conversing in is ... English.

I'm talking about the US, not the UK. The current form of government in the UK is oligarchy. They have nobles.

The current form of British government is a monarchy, according to them. Has been for centuries. An oligarchy is a plutocracy, isn't it?
Indeed, they have nobles. However, the common usage of the term is not exclusive to members of the nobility, is it?

You're a mentally diseased moron, not an operator.
Yeah, we are not the same. I'm not even an operator, I'm from way out in Tom Brown's Field Guide to Survival land.

You are aware that literature is required in a few branches of Special Forces, no?
They do not train them to be pussies like you.
Knowing that is required by The Green Berets and Rangers, tardo.
