Our leaders were were quality people, though there was the time an admiral returned a fleeing Lithuanian seaman to his ship (1) a horrible blunder. Okay, most were quality and some were spineless trash. I worked with/for honorable people, most of whom were OUTSTANDING.

It was in the service I learned the term "shit floats", (2) and isn't that entirely appropriate to the sack of shit Oompa-Loompa?

The opposite of "The cream rises". A saying used to denote that people in positions of power often got where they are through corruption and do not deserve the advantages they have.
