Greatest NCO And Officer of all Time
 
This is a spin-off from the best insurgent leader thread. Who's the best and why? You can do a short list if you need to. If you don't like or understand the way the topic is defined, redefine it or state your understanding in your post, please.

NDD will go first.

SFC Robert Howard (I met him as a Major, but he was more like a CSM in attitude, etc.)

Officer - Colonel Nick Rowe
