Folks, let me clue you in on something: BY CONSTITUTIONAL DEFINITION, THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS A CIVILIAN. He shouldnt be saluting at all. Reagan started this idiotic bullshit, no president before him raised a salute, not even Eisenhower. The president is a civilian. There is no law, statute, regulation, or US Code that requires him to salute. Period. Nor should he. And in point of fact, the people who set up this country SPECIFICALLY didnt want the president to be a member of the military - which is why we put civilians in charge of it. The president shouldnt be saluting in the first place. Period. A nod, a verbal acknowledgement to the military folks guarding him is sufficient. Listen to me carefully: We dont want the president, this one or any other, acting like they are a general. This is the United States of America, and its long past time for you to remember that.
