      It should be noted in both cases, it wasn’t the leader who demanded a change, but the subordinate who did it to save face on their behalf.

      I guess noses can be the same shade of brown, regardless of nationality.

      A comment on that article says it’s more complicated than that. The Air Force Chief of Staff preferred SR over RS and got the speech changed before the president gave it.
