WHY NO SALUTE BY OBAMA AT MEDAL OF HONOR CEREMONY?
By Attorney Rees Lloyd
November 26, 2010

Hey ****-for-brains, one does not salute sergeants.

Sure you can.

Sergeants NEVER receive salutes, only officers.

Sergeants salute officers, which would include the CIC, whereupon the
officer is expected to return the salute correctly, smartly and
respectfully.


You guys sure make a mountain out of a molehill. I mean, come on. What's
the big deal about a salute? Did the sergeant salute the CIC? No, so the
CIC wasn't required to return it, was he? Besides, have you never seen
Obama salute anyone? I know I have. The point is that it's about style.
Obama may be commander in chief but that is a minor role for him. He's
really the chief administrator of the country. As such he's more
concerned with other things than being a member of the military and
following the proper etiquette the military uses. Obama is like a CEO
not a CIC. He's also trying to reduce the appearance of him being head
of the military as a primary role. CIC is just one of the things he is
and he doesn't want it to become overly prominent. He's a civilian. Not
a member of the military. You should keep that in mind when you expect
him to act like a proper soldier. Also keep in mind that to find fault
for such a niggling thing as you did just exposes your anti Obama bias.
