How come that doesn't surprise me. I know it was one of the reasons why I was in, at least with the 82nd Airborne there were no Corporals, if you E-4 you were Specialist even if you were Fire Team Leader you still were a Spec-4. I remember when I was in the 82nd Replacement Detachment an Corporal who was transferring in from Korea was told by the Detachment E-6 that there were no Corporals in the Division...
Of course, now I don't know if they have change that or not. I always felt if you were E-4 and Fire Team Leader then you should be able to wear the stripes. Otherwise, to someone outside of your chain of command would assume you were just another lazy pogue....
