Tanaka: Tell us a bit about your military career.
Handstand: Well, I joined the Republic Army in 1938, as a 2nd Lieutenant. In 1939, Brydog entered WWII on the allied side which I was send to command a platoon. In 1944, I was a Lieutenant Colonel and was place command of a armored unit during D-Day. Then in 1945, about three months before Germany surrendered, I was promoted to Brigadier General which held until Korean War where I was promoted to General. My current rank is given to the head of the Republic Army. The reason for the rapid promotion was a lot of officers were retiring and the Army need more high ranking officers, so me and the rest of the young guys were promoted to these ranks. So, I served in WWII and currently is the head of the military.
