The Russian military and the USS Missouri

This boobs story comes all the way from Russia:
MOSCOW - The Russian military got an unpleasant surprise on the eve of its only holiday. Dozens of posters plastered across Moscow screamed the military salute "Congrats to the Russian Soldiers," but depicted the American warship USS Missouri. The posters were swiftly taken down once the gaffe was realized on the eve of Defender of the Motherland Day, celebrated annually on Feb. 23. The error was so obvious that Vycheslav Sedov, a Defense Ministry press officer, quickly disowned responsibility for the posters... He added that civilians created the posters and that they were clearly “incompetent.”
There's a rumor that the person responsible for this has been offered a high level security position with the Department of Homeland Security.
