No, I have no Idea who made the General Osaka .gif...it showed up on a message board where it was most out of place.

Ready for an unbelievably geeky nitpick? Whoever made the GIF doesn't know anything about American rank insignia. We don't use 5 stars any longer.

But when we did (in the 1940's and 1950's), the five were arranged in a pentagon, not in a line.

2 Oh, and they're supposed to be gold, not silver.

3 She's just an abstract representation of a general. It's like complaining about the Tiger in the infamous Azugirls-the-tank-crew picture not being historically accurate.

5 I just assumed that Gen. Osaka was a takeoff of "Baghdad Bob" (or whatever his name was), the bombastic Iraqi info minister.  Seems like that job would fit her to a T.
