Here we see our Webmaster hard at work maintaining
peace and freedom -- creating attendance and character guidance reports
for review by clerical representatives of Brigadier Generals.
His mustache, in those puritan times, caused a big stir with the old
Sergeant Majors -- fortunately for him he was spared the knife by virtue

disgust.
Unfortunately, this photo was classified and
has just recently been released -- (the unfortunate part being the
release.)
If it had leaked at the time, we can imagine
grave international consequences. North Korea may well have
correctly interpreted the universal meaning of his hand gesture ("
'short' -- meaning that he was a short-timer due to leave Korea soon"). Perhaps knowing he would
leave shortly, the
North's main fear of successfully annexing the South would have been
removed.
