Context:
About a male in the military:
He was a major and I was a private. He was very attentive, charming and handsome. He acted like he was crazy about me instead of just plain crazy. Took a check out of my checkbook and presented it to a car repair place when I went into hiding in an abuse shelter. Beat our son with a strap making welts all over his back. Kept me from leaving the apartment to get help on various occasions.
Thanks

Comandante vs soldado raso
¿Es esto lo que necesitas?
No estoy muy segura pero esto es lo que encontré:
Mayor
9. m. ant. Caudillo, capitán, jefe de guerra. Se usa todavía en algunos ejércitos como denominación de empleo equivalente al de comandante. (http://lema.rae.es/drae/?val=mayor)

Sé que es wikipedia, pero bueno, esto es lo que dice: "The equivalent rank to private in the Spanish, Mexican, Colombian, Dominican and Argentinian army is the soldado raso meaning "rankless soldier" or simply soldado."
