A Russian general is under the impression that he's a colonel in the South African Army. What is continually amazing is that no one knows who anyone is at these arms bazaar meetings. They just figure if you're there, you belong Everyone is known by rank, but it's very confusing. The Germans show up in US uniforms. The Russians show up in Pakistani uniforms.
Nobody knows who anyone is.
Or what armed service they're actually affiliated with. And this is the global arms bazaar. And it is very bizarre indeed. The lengths they go to hide their identity is amazing. But they all insist on using their real rank - but you never know which army they're from.
