10. I had a bird colonel in a hole with me

but that was during the evacuation, so shit was hitting the fan everywhere and no one knew shit.... before that, a Navy CDR was the highest I ever saw outside the wire, and he was a SEAL

although... there were Generals in helicopters, I know that for a fact

like someone said above, the job description has changed a lot with modern command, control and communications, it was not uncommon in the US Civil War to have 5 or more Generals killed in an afternoon, but they had to do their own recon in those days and were big targets on horseback.
