Both Richard Dean Anderson & Amanda Tapping were given honorary ranks because of the positive image they had created for the image of the Air Force. RDA was made a honorary Brigadier General. & Tapping was made honorary an Colonel. Stargate significantly boosted recruitment numbers within the Air Force. Especially for the recruitment of women in the science & technical based roles within the Air Force.

_SG1_ [and _Atlantis_ ] had close ties to the DoD over the years because they always portrayed the USAF with respect, dignity, honor and accuracy, and didn't let Hollywood-style antics get in the way... erm, for the most part and as far as a sci-fi show would let them. It was because of this relationship that the real Chief of Staff General Ryan (and a few other real USAF personnel) was invited in for a cameo as a sign of thanks from the show.

Admittedly the roles are small, not particularly complex, and it's not like they need to express complicated emotions or lines, but it is fun to see an average non-pro person from professional life managing to act alongside professional actors and not standing out particularly.
