I somehow expected a metaphor about Japanese bullets being global, while American generals wear lexical uniforms...

    ... Japanese bullets ...

    Actually, if the story is true (and it may be too good to be true), a 50-cal bullet would most likely have come from a U.S. AA machine-gun. (I'm not sure that any of the Japanese planes at Pearl were armed with other than 30-cal guns.) This just emphasizes the truism that such injuries are likely to be self-inflicted.

      he's talking about being hit by brass shell not by lead bullet

        A Bash shell...?
