Look at the posters background. It is not at all uncommon for there to be hero worship of generals from the troops who may have had some remote association with them.

Of course, this is pure speculation on my part, but based on many years of association with the military and a few generals as well.

Personally, although I never met him, General Chesty Puller, USMC, was a hero of mine, but like most generals, could not have been elected Dog Catcher.

Good points; it would explain the otherwise unexplainable.
