@Xyrox: You're right, I missed it. Thanks.

That much is true, but Mustang is Colonel because of his ability to organize military operations. Colonel is just under "General" in rank, after all. Colonels are typically in charge of a regiment -- typically a few hundred to five thousand soldiers. (A brigadier general would be in charge of a brigade, which is two to five regiments. In America, a General organizes a "division" or army)

This is a war of information now. They're going to keep picking each other off, one at a time, until one side finds the opportunity to win it all, "legitimately" in the eyes of the State. Mustang needs proof that Bradley is issuing illegal orders, part of a conspiracy, etc. Bradley needs to either quietly kill off Mustang's support staff, or prove that they are part of a conspiracy against him, probably after destroying any evidence against him.

(This is starting to remind me of Babylon 5. That's a good show too, though I thought it was boring as a kid)
