TR--
FWIW, the pose is consistent with that of other flag officers << LINK>>.
Then again, given his height, the admiral may merely have been trying to hold himself up high enough to be in the photo. (Hey, I can joke about this--some of my best friends are short. ) |
I don't see any other flag officers but other Admirals doing it.
