By Attorney Rees Lloyd November 26, 2010 A moment of national pride took place recently in the White House when an American soldier, Staff Sgt.

Technically, the higher-ranking officer isn't _required_ to salute, or even to return a salute. Since when? -- Richard Lamb email me: web site: www.home.earthlink.net/~cavelamb |

Well, things might have changed since the early 1970's, but I'm only going by what they taught us in basic training. Didn't they teach you anything in the service? Or have you evaded doing service? Thanks, Rich |

Thanks, Rich Have a look at FM 22-5. But military courtesy is more about mutual respect than about rules and regulations. It is codified and a matter of discipline for newbies because it takes some military experience to understand how things work. I'm actually not sure that an officer is required to return a salute, but an officer that would not observe that courtesy respectfully doesn't deserve his commission and probably does deserve a frag experience. This viewpoint from a former U.S.Army officer. |
