What part of "civilians are not required to salute" eludes you?

I get that you've become accustomed to VPs saluting. But it's a relatively recent
development. Ronald Reagan started it. So 192 years of presidents and vice-presidents
not saluting versus 30 years of them saluting (or not).

I beg you: unwad your panties. This isn't an issue.




What is it with the military men standing around the airplanes anyway ?
Are they just there for the looks ? If so, just a waste of manpower to
me even if it is just one or two men. Now i they are the pilots of the
planes I can see that. I don't recall any of them having a gun on them
so they can not be there for protection.

I can see them saluting the president and he should salute back as he is
the commander in chief, but I still want to know where the VP stands
with the military ?


I did not see anything wrong here. It will come out in the future from
secret service and White House workers how they treated these folks.
Usually it is the Democrats that get low marks.
