While stitching a cut on the hand of a 75 year old veteran whose hand was caught in the squeeze gate of the military hospital the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man Eventually the topic got around to generals and their role as our leaders The old veteran said Well as I see it most generals are Post Turtles Not being familiar with the term the doctor asked him what a Post Turtle was The old veteran said When you re driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top that s a post turtle The old veteran saw the puzzled look on the doctor s face so he continued to explain You know he didn t get up there by himself he doesn t belong up there he doesn t know what to do while he s up there he s elevated beyond his ability to function and you just wonder what kind of dumb arse put him up there to begin with
