Kirk and Picard against one another to find out the greatest military man ever to helm the USS Enterprise. Kirk won, although the real answer is probably <a class=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/memory-alpha.wikia.com\/wiki\/M%C3%A9nage_%C3%A0_Troi_(episode)?file=Colin_Powell.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Link: http:\/\/memory-alpha.wikia.com\/wiki\/M%C3%A9nage_%C3%A0_Troi_(episode)?file=Colin_Powell.jpg\">this person.<\/a>\u00a0<br\/><br\/>So with no seeds, there can be no favorites. At least not officially.<br\/><br\/>That said, two competitors have stood apart from the rest of the field throughout our search for the greatest fictional on-screen military character ever, and early results in our semifinal round haven&#8217;t bucked that trend for a second.<br\/><br\/><br\/>Gunnery Sgt. Hartman (&#8220;Full Metal Jacket&#8221;) and Capt. John Miller (&#8220;Saving Private Ryan&#8221;) have opened big leads over Benjamin Martin (&#8220;The Patriot&#8221;) and Darth Vader, respectively, as the semifinals reach the halfway point. Larger comebacks have taken place in our brackets in past years, but Mel Gibson&#8217;s colonial warrior and the Star Wars saga&#8217;s man in black each need late surge to avoid a ticket home.<br\/><br\/>Voting ends Friday at 3 p.m. Eastern. If you&#8217;ve already cast your ballot, head to social media and use the hashtag #BattleBracket to campaign for your semifinal favorite.\u00a0<br\/><br\/><br\/>Voting for the Clash of Characters final round will begin immediately after the semifinals wrap up and will be decided early next week.\u00a0<br\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The final four entrants in our
