Why the us army rank of major is in gold and lieutenent colonel is in silver?
Gold is more valuable than silver. The very beginning of the officer corps is the gold bar of the 2nd Lieutenant (Ensign in the Navy)...meaning, he has EARNED the GOLD, and has entered the ranks of the officer corps. The rank of Major (Lieutenant Commander in the Navy) is the FIRST military rank of the "Field Grade" officer level. There is no Gold Star for entering the General Officer levels of rank. There are three officer corps levels: Company Grade Officers (1st & 2nd Lieutenants, Captain), Field Grade Officers (Major, Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel), and General Officers (Brigader General, Major General, Lieutenant General, and General).
