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. |

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. Hawke |

Dan I'm sure he doesn't forget to make the sign of the bloods and crips whenever the crack pipe gets passed. The least he could do is remember to salute his betters. |
