Sergeant Star tells potential recruits that he out ranks them. This is not true. The US is not yet a military junta. No military personnel “OUTRANK" even civilian contractors (though they might supervise or authorize them, it's technically different.) Recruits are civilians until they actually sign their contract.

Sgt. Star gives everyone the truest picture of what life in the Army is like when he says, "Because I say so....last I checked, I outrank you."

You get the idea. You sign up with the Army, you subject yourself to years of taking orders from idiots whose orders you have to obey. My father was in the Army long ago. His job "required" him to sign off on a blueprint for a machine the Army planned to make. My dad told them them he wouldn't sign off on it. It was a dangerous design that could cost someone their hand. They still pressured him to sign it.
