The word "colonel" is derived from the Italian word "colonnello," which in turn comes from the Latin "columna" meaning "column." Over time, the spelling and pronunciation of "colonel" diverged. 'Kernal' is to my quick google-fu an americalization which tracks nicly on to this:
Many legal terms come from the law frech, the anglo-norman dialect used as a courtly language after William's conquest, and continue to exist. It's like "attorney general" who is a "general attorney."
It's called a postpositive adjective and you also see pop up in other cases like "whiskey sour," and "prrof positive."

same reason it's an Attorney General instead of a General Attorney.
Learn you some etymology and stop being retarded.
how come you have 2 attorneys general but not 2 brigadiers general?
Reminder that the plural of Whopper Junior is "Whoppers Junior"
Now you've got me thinking of the Carl Jr.'s scene from Idiocracy
