Hi Guys!
You can call me Twirls. I have a habit of screencapping everything I watch and y'all seem to like that which is good because I'm not going to stop

James Rhodes is a proud and highly distinguished officer of the United States Air Force. As a military man, he is a firm believer in people being held accountable for their actions and a proper chain of command.
For the most part, Rhodes maintains a sense of professionalism and strives to do whatever he feels is the right thing for the people. Despite his sense of professionalism, however, he enjoys wearing the War Machine suit as he believes it makes him a badass, and is largely disappointed when it underperforms. [source]
this fandom still out here falling over all these military mcu heroes but still acting like Rhodey don’t outrank most if not all of them outside of Nick Fury.
I honestly forgot what his rank was so I just looked it up and FUCKing lieutenant colonel. He’s nearly a god damned fullbird. In what universe would he take orders from a fake captain holy shit
Don’t quote me on this but I’m pretty sure that rhodey DOESN’T outrank Steve cause Steve’s army and rhodey’s air force
No, that is incorrect. USAF Colonel (pay grade O-6) outranks an Army Captain (pay grade O-3) by 3 ranks. You might be thinking of a US Navy Captain (pay grade O-6), which has a rank equivalent to an Army, Marine, or USAF Colonel. (A captain in the US Army, Marines, or Air Force has the rank equivalent of a US Navy lieutenant. Both are pay grade O-3.)
Steve, Sam, and Bucky aren’t US military any more. I won’t talk about Carol or Maria to avoid spoilers. Again, Rhodey (active or retired) and Fury (retired) are the only characters entitled to be addressed by their ranks.
Apologies to OP for hijacking, but to reiterate their original point about the total lack of respect Rhodey gets from fandom:
(1) Rhodey is a goddamn full bird Colonel.
(2) Rhodey was promoted from Lt. Colonel to Colonel at the end of IM3. He’s been a full bird Colonel for nearly 6 years, but fandom still gets his rank wrong.
(Props failure in Age of Ultron is partly to blame. But this is the same fandom that tried to figure out every ribbon on Steve’s WWII uniform, so props failure as an excuse doesn’t really fly, imho.)
(3) Rhodey outranks everybody except Fury, who is also a full bird Colonel, Retired (and so goddamn tired).
The first time Matt and Foggy are shirtless *intimately* together, Matt wonders out loud why Foggy is kissing him in apparently random places. Turns out Foggy is searching for and kissing each and every one of Matt’s freckles and moles.
While they’re getting ready for Tony and Pepper’s wedding, Peter stumbles across on a room a few hours before and finds Tony and Rhodey making out and they don’t see him and he’s like *GASP* and freaks out over what to do about it and tries to get Happy to give him advice and he and Ned and MJ conspire and then like two hours before the ceremony he stumbles accross another room and finds Pepper and Rhodey making out and he’s confused and then Tony enters the room from a different door and all three of them start kissing and cuddling and Peter’s like *oooooohhh* and then he goes to find Ned and they work on a way to ask MJ if she’d like to go out with them.
