Saul,

Roger all -- I understand the comparison you are trying to make, but this quote from your most recent post:

"they do not command in the same manner centurions did."

Is still inaccurate. Modern US Army warrants do not command at all. Period. Your posting implies that modern US warrants exercise some form of command.

So, while (yes) a warrant officer is a series of grades nested between enlisted Soldiers and commissioned officers, the huge gulf between them and a Roman centurio is that the centuriones actually commanded units, whereas modern US warrants do not.

That's all I was trying to make clear.
