[/quote] Sometimes Western Generals do that as a sign of competency. Third world generals wear a chest plate of medals. So U.S. generals who CAN do that, will often wear nothing to almost nothing. Basically saying: "I'm not a clown". [/quote]
Original Message
As I posted elsewhere, I would have given up rank, service, benefits to one finger salute that POS, tell him to go fuck himself and march off stage.
Aside from that, since when do Marines stand at parade rest with hands in front and not crossed behind their backs?
I don't know much about presidential guard duty but never in my days did we ever have a parade rest position with hands in front and I was on funeral detail for 6 months.
Anyway,
Your thoughts on being part of the symbolism being used as a semi-veiled threat to half the country?
We've been tools of many a corrupt and sleazy political goal, but is this finally going to be a bridge too far?
