And apparantly he chooses not to salute even a soldier receiving the
country's highest decoration. Some CIC!


Coward In Charge?




it is astounding that you militaristic bigots feel that receiving the
medal, along with a speech honoring his actions is insufficient, and that
a civilian must give a gratuitous and unnatural hand gesture to appease
YOUR misplaced sense of honor. The good sergeant can speak for himself if
he feels offended. I honor his actions. You are attempting to impugn his
honor and this country with trivialities. Perhaps you have forgotten that
at this time we are a country governed by civilians. If you want a country
where salutes are mandatory, there are countries where the military is in
charge - take your idiocy there and begone.

Obama reminds me of Bill Clinton when it comes to military protocol. And
Bill Clinton reminded me of Rufus T. Firefly. (as portrayed by Groucho
Marx)

I have never ever been in the military, and I would salute the Sergeant just
out of respect for his office and his deeds.

Mr. Obama is woefully lacking in many areas.
