Admiral of the Fleet
An Admiral of the Fleet or Fleet Admiral, is a military naval officer of the highest rank. In the United States, the rank of Fleet Admiral is reserved for war time use, with the last promotions to position coming during World War II. It is usually a rank above Admiral, and is often held by the most senior Admiral of an entire naval service. It is also a generic term for a senior Admiral in command of a large group of ships, comprising a fleet or, in some cases, a group of fleets. If actually a rank (equivalent to an army Field Marshal or General of the Army, which ranks above General), its name varies depending on the country, including Fleet Admiral, Admiral of the Fleet, Admiral of the Navy, and Grand Admiral.
Episode 20 - 4/19/1996 - "Space: Above And Beyond" "Stardust" DVD:
00:26:22
Lt. Colonel T.C. McQueen: They're dead, aren't they?
Commodore Ross: The Five Eight? Don't tell me you've succumbed to those bizarre rumors.
Lt. Colonel T.C. McQueen: In World War 2, prior to D-Day, the British place false information about the European invasion on the body of a man who just died of pneumonia.
They dressed him as a high-ranking officer, and put him in the English Channel via submarine. The Germans discovered the body, and re-deployed several Panzer divisions away from the area. It was a crucial deception that aided the Allied victory. The passengers in the APC are dead.
Commodore Ross: If I knew, I couldn't confirm.
Lt. Colonel T.C. McQueen: While looking in the Second World War I found something else. Operation Naye'i. Naye'i is a Navajo word for "alien gods." During the war we used Native Americans as radio operators. Navajo was the only native language the enemy couldn't crack. I assume any disinformation regarding the location of Operation Roundhammer would be written in code, to make it appear to the enemy to be top secret information.
Commodore Ross: We are not at liberty to discuss this.
Lt. Colonel T.C. McQueen: I have no problem with the mission - if that's what it is. But there is something that bothers me, Commodore. For disinformation to be effective, we would want the Chigs to crack the code. Why would the code be written in a language that even other people on Earth couldn't crack?
Unless we knew the enemy was familiar with the language.

1LT Cooper Hawkes: Colonel.
Colonel Klingman: Lieutenant.
1LT Cooper Hawkes: I was wondering if you could answer a few questions about a-all this.
Colonel Klingman: Telepresence has been around for quite some time. The Russians first used it in 1998 to explore Mars. Telepresence is an interactive computer graphics system which provides the operator with the illusion of being immersed in a simulated environment.
1LT Cooper Hawkes: My question isn't really about the system. It's about you.
Colonel Klingman: You got a problem with me?
1LT Cooper Hawkes: Yeah.
Colonel Klingman: Sit down.
1LT Cooper Hawkes: You won't be there. I mean, you yourself? You seem okay to me. You seem like you know what you're doin' with this stuff. But a machine - all this? It can't feel what we do out there. When we're under enemy attack and it just becomes one big hairy fur ball and you don't know up from down and your heart's pounding 'cause you're taking enemy fire from your 6:00 and 12:00 and you barely have time to think for yourself - somehow we all just know. We feel where each other are. And I'm there for them and they're for me.
Colonel Klingman: You're talking about situational awareness.
1LT Cooper Hawkes: Yeah! And I don't see how you can have it sitting on a closet on the Saratoga.
Now, I'm not trying to rag on you but have you ever had your wingman - a good buddy - blown out of the sky then have to drive on while g-forces are tearing you out of your seat?
Colonel Klingman: I'm an engineer, Lieutenant.
1LT Cooper Hawkes: And then puke all over yourself when you came out of the roll?
Colonel Klingman: Yes, but not in an airplane.
1LT Cooper Hawkes: Have you ever been shot at?
Colonel Klingman: No. I've never been in a dogfight. But why must I have taken a life in order for you to trust me? This machine - these wires - will save millions of lives. This plan - my idea - is my part to bring everyone home soon.
Safe.
And I would think you could believe in and trust someone who's working to be able to spend a night with you back home rather than going out to look up your name on some war memorial wall.
I believe in my plan.
I believe in myself.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocratic_oath
Hippocratic Oath
The Hippocratic Oath is an oath traditionally taken by physicians pertaining to the ethical practice of medicine. It is widely believed that the oath was written by Hippocrates, the father of western medicine, in the 4th century BC, or by one of his students. It is thus usually included in the Hippocratic Corpus. Classical scholar Ludwig Edelstein proposed that the oath was written by Pythagoreans, a theory that has been questioned due to the lack of evidence for a school of Pythagorean medicine. The phrase "Above all, do no harm" is usually attributed to the oath. Although mostly of historical and traditional value, the oath is considered a rite of passage for practitioners of medicine, although nowadays the modernized version of the text varies among the countries.
