Cap's rank?

[beeinmybonnet.livejournal.com]

Well, uh... I was planning to de-lurk when I actually had something to contribute, like, you know, a drawing, but apparently the universe had other, better plans. Oh, well. Hi, hello, I'm Anna, I'm new, I'm a tyro at Marvel comics (because it appears Sweden hates superhero comics) and I'm pants at introductions. Nice to meet you! ♥

So, uh, back to the reason for my premature de-lurking.
Has it been made known which military rank Steve held? Was he a captain, or was it just a code name? I know he worked undercover or something as a "low ranker" but that wouldn't be his official rank, would it?
Am I even making any sense at all? No? Didin't think so. ::facepalm::

So. Enough rambling. I'll just spit it out and have it over with. At a social function, "present times", Steve wears a uniform, but which rank would he be holding? As a perfectionist, this detail is driving me nuts.

(And no, this is totally not research for that drawing I mentioned earlier. Why would you imagine that? ♥)

Then he probably is. It would make sense - Captain America was the best the Allies have on the table, including France, England, Russia, and everyone else. As Captain America, he'd have to give out orders on the field without getting snarled in military protocol.

Which would be hella awkward after he gets defrosted. After Omar Bradley died, the rank was discontinued - Steve can technically command every single allied army that is currently fighting on our side. I doubt that would make them happy.
