I saw it. I don't get it. For someone who claims to be so in touch with the people, one would think he would take 10 minutes to have someone in uniform teach him how to execute a proper salute. He might not gain much respect because of it, but he would lose a lot less.

I don't think he was being considerate enough to salute at all. I think he was acknowledging someone off camera and never gave the Marines a second thought. Let alone a first one.

IF I gave my true thoughts and opinions, one of several things would happen.

Two of them are:
1. The thread would be locked.
2. I would be banned....... for life.

I am a guest in someone else's home, so, I will end this post with -

My disgust for that disrespectful action, is off the charts.

Seriously?

Nope...I must correct myself...This was nothing more than a half-assed, feeble, disrespectful attempt to a salute.


I feel nothing but, disgust any time I see his image. Once a punk, always a punk.

The POTUS is not a uniformed member of the military and therefore a proper military salute is not required or even appropriate.

However, some basic human respect and acknowledgement of our uniformed service members is. What message did he send throughout the entire military community? What message did he send to the world?

Azz puppets all act the same. The hildabeast, when elected will be no different.

The President of the United States is a civilian. He is not a member of the US Military and is therefore not entitled to salute. The military salute is a privilege earned by honorable service in the military. It is also a privilege that can be taken away. Military prisoners are stripped of the privilege of saluting. While the President is Constitutionally the CINC, he is not a member of the military. - See more at: Is it Proper for a President to Render a Military Hand Salute? | Texas GOP Vote
