I didn't say it was official, if anything I think it's somewhat unofficial by its very nature, no?!
It's not like I have a classified document where this sorta thing would be mentioned 😀

It's just an observation, and it's something I learned (didn't come up with it myself), probably from a video essay on Youtube or something like that - tried to remember specifically from where but I couldn't tell you. But it's been a pattern, with Colin Powell being used for the war in Iraq for example.

edit: I think /u/crusa187 offered a better reply with more examples
