In muted defense of our (American) numbers, some of our generals are brigadiers, while none of your brigadiers are generals. But yes, we are blessed with an abundance.

Some of our one star generals are Air Commodores, some are called Brigadiers (we already know he outranks a full colonel), and the ones with boats are called Commodores with no mention of the wet stuff at all.
