That darn Ellis Rosen



Ellis Rosen's Aug. 7 editorial cartoon. (Ellis Rosen)

It's open to interpretation [Ellis Rosen letter]

Regarding Ellis Rosen's Aug. 7 editorial cartoon depicting two military personnel in an art museum:

The uniform worn by the senior man takes diversity to a new level. He is wearing what appears to be a lieutenant general's three-star shoulder boards, a Navy ensign's single stripe on his right sleeve, a Navy lieutenant's double stripe on his left sleeve and a corporal's insignia on his right arm. The depicted enlisted man's uniform is devoid of any rank insignia whatsoever. Obviously, some manner of covert special ops. However, he is saluting British-style, suggesting a joint U.S.-British operation.

I don't get, it either.
