He got his position by demonstrating his skills and judgement in battle. He is the CO of the SRT on board the Dedannan because of that.
All I can say is Mao, Sousuke and Kurtz have a great deal of respect for him. and it isn't because he gives out orders.

Dudes, Kalinin ain't overweight. Look at the size of they guy, he's a russian tank! (a good friend of mine happens to be from Siberia and is huuuuuge)
Also, check out his mad reaction time when he saves Tessa's life by jumping between her & the glass.
Plus there's the previously mentioned stuff (eg. Sousuke's comments, etc).
So imho, Kalinin.
2nd place would prolly be Mao, reasons already stated by others.
All the links in my sig went dead. ; ;

'K, thanks for explaining, KiLlEr. I agree; Kalinin, then Mao.
There's a reason Sousuke is where he's at...what unnerves
me is how people disregard that, even though he is portrayed
as the hero in FMP.

Grey's dead. How can you suggest she's as good as the others when the only thing she's doing is feeding the worms and pushing up daysies?

we're comparing soldiers
soldiers objective is not to live, it's to complete the mission or die trying.

That's why he's where he is.
I'd like it if you actually gave valid reasons in support
of your claims...

It includes you, yes, and those who think
Sousuke is the best out of these even
though it's been proven otherwise.

Dude, after watching the FMP all over again I would agree with the Grey thing, but its a tough one between Kalinin and Grey.
No that I think about it.... Sousuke wasn't a bad soldier... Just confused man, he had to protect Kaname, come on if you were in that position you would probably do the same thing!! or not!

Grey is dead
The best soldier is one that completes all thier missions and returns. Grey did NOT do that in the "Wind Rising in the Homeland" arc. She didnot complete her missions (both were a complete failure) and she didnot return.
Sousuke disobeyed orders several times, and completely deserted his post (in the novels) and also talked back to the supreme commander (in the novels).
Thus, only Kalinin is left. He has the most combat experience and he is a wise decision maker that can think quickly on his feet.
