Ever since SUPREME POWER #2, I've been wondering why Joe Ledger,
a corporal, seems so high in intelligence circles, seemingly
running independent operations and all.  Now, reading the text
recap in #8 (because I seem to have missed #7) I see that he is
referred to as a colonel, tho he is still a corporal in the main
part of the book.

A letterer error?  Or is the writer Straczynski not very
attentive to military detail?  Or a recap writer who feels the
same as I and "corrected" it?  (Who writes the recap pages,
anyway?  This one seemed to actually provide what you needed to
understand this issue coming in cold.)

The problem is the idiot writer who meant to type Colonel from the beginning,
but had a brain-glitch and typed Corporal, and didn't catch it until after it
appeared.
