Then why did you even bring it up?

You said a CO is a Captain and I told you Majors can be CO as well.

No, I said the rank of captain is a command rank. I bet your company commanders who were holding the rank of major held their first command as captain. Captain (O-3) is the rank and officer holds before being promoted to major (O-4).

I know how things work in those REMF units like you were in.

They are covering it up.

You're slandering a deceased member of our armed forces for partisan political posturing.

Ok, not sure what the debate is. Some of it depends on what type of Company it is as well.

That doesn't change the fact that the rank of captain is a command rank.

A lieutenant can be a commander. In 1969 they made this butter bar a company commander in a Medical Company in a Medical Battalion.

True, but to attain the rank of captain, one must be in a command slot.
