The more I think of treaties, victories (of all sorts, military and civvie)

The more I get aggravated at the high muckety mucks not being recognized.

Looking at the surrender of the Japanese aboard Big Mo there's all sorts of brass there and I don't see a single enlisted man in the on deck group of onlookers.

It would be interesting to know if there were any enlisted men in the group.

It would have made a statement of who we are by having an assorted line of enlisted men (heavy on the low grades) in work uniforms as the front row.

As for my comment about the Japanese not carrying their swords, I can picture some enlisted guy looking at a sword carrying Japanese officer and saying, "The sword. Fork it over."

The Japanese officer looks to the nearest admiral or general wondering what to do who shrugs and says, "Settle it with him."

The point being that the higher ups should make it clear that they can't do squat without the little guys.
