Military Names?

Please feel free to add to this list: Pretend we're assembling a bunch of military men and name them. Their ranks include at least General, Major, and Private. If you think of any Colonels or other ranks, that would be great.

The TV show How I Met Your Mother used to mention this kind of thing a lot, and the characters would salute when a phrase came up.

Their names have to be phrases you'd instantly recognize. "Majors" can be a little overdone, since it's usually a slang usage. I knew a girl whose mother got a government job that assigned her to the military and gave her an instant rank. She was Asian, surnamed Fun. Her kids liked that and said she'd always been Major Fun, even before this job.

I'll be on the lookout for the next who-knows-how long. It will help take my mind off the other things that are bugging me.

Yes, when I'm worrying about $$ it helps me to start thinking of word game stuff -- and sometimes it's actually useful, re: domain names. I like scouring our domains when a buyer is looking for something in particular.
