Lieutenant: Sir, two days ago I was a private...

i think the range would narrow considerably. yeah, alot low ranking guys would get promoted, but i think lots of lower officers would just end up with more men under their charge. and your captains and lieutenants would probably be the new 'big wigs'. kinda like in Final Blackout, the new leaders would be mostly 'field officers' aka NCOs.
