And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

1950 Nash at the 456th Change of Command at Castle Air Force Base, CA. 1963
The "two star" flags on the Rambler Command Staff Car are misleading, as it's actually carrying the departing, and incoming Lieutenant Colonels.
The "El Jefe" (The Boss) decals on the front fenders hint to the tongue in cheek spirit in which the car was decorated by the squadron members…
The story goes, that it was originally fit with an F-106 pitot tube and mast. Which despite sporting a "remove before flight" tag was removed at request of Air Police, who deemed the needle a pedestrian hazard
for the other image of this car, moments later, driving away, https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2018/02/1950-nash-at-456th-change-of-command-at.html

Thank you Jesse. Even tho I am not military, I could see the absurdity.
