Should the Army go back to SPC5-SPC8 rank structure?

As NCO's many of us are leaders. Many of us are not. Back in the 1980's the Army did away with the SPC rank except for SPC4. Do you feel that soldiers that are proficient in their MOS, but not leaders, get a pay raise but not lead troops?

When I joined the Army we Specialist 4-6 (SP7 had just been discontinued). It provided those Soldiers who had technical expertise and experience the opportunity to progress and earn more pay. However they typically were not "green tab" leaders and were subordinate in rank to a "sergeant" of the same pay grade (SSG & SP6). I've often thought over the years that the Army deleted a program that brought added value to the organization by discontinuing these ranks, as not all Soldiers are not going to be good leaders but should have the opportunity to progress based on their occupational expertise.
