sergeants are like the shit in the toilet bowl. they are dominated by The Hand, the one power that has the ability to flush them away to total obvilion. on the other hand they are floating and above The Water, which is below them and is influenced by the shit as the waste material slowly dissipates and diffuses into the originally pure and useless water. yet despite this, the shit knows that it is kept afloat by the water; without the water the shit would be floundering at the bottom of the toilet bowl. and also the water tends to get higher than the shit and attempt to drown it, for water is not shits natural medium. thats why laosai is abnormal. and of course even the water, which is below the shit yet has ability to destroy the shit, is also subjected to the will of The Hand.
the hand are the officers, yet sometimes even the fingers on your own hand dun agree with each other. there are more powerful fingers like your thumb and first finger, yet there are meaningful ones like your ring finger. the more powerful ones are the commissioned ones, while the other are the warrants. altho as one they are near omnipotent, their internal struggle sometimes proves to affect the shit in the toilet bowl.
the water represents the men. you have the power to control them, yet if your shit diffuses too much in your attempt to influence you become so blended with the water and become like them, and you lose your identity and power.
such is the sandwiching effect faced by sergeants. they are neither here or there, neither up or down. they are the ultimate sai kang party. they must do everything that the men do, and on top of that they must handle the stuff thrown to them by the officers. and not all stuff they do get recognition. they are actually just men with greater surface area so that they can get arrowed more easily
hooray for the dung beetles
