Just wondering if he’s saluting but we can’t see his hand on the side of his head due to the photo angle.
We were enjoying the day WITHOUT football...
Ask him if he is a veteran. He is not a Regular Army Officer, he is what is called an AGR Officer, Army Guard and Reserve, a full time National Guard officer who should be setting the example. He failed today. He knew the controversy surrounding the NFL and the administration. He should have had the good sense to know cameras would be all over him next to the VP and he better do something other than standing like a cigar store indian. The Army DOES salute indoors vs the Navy which does not. I spent many years as a commissioned Army officer. Don’t try to tell me something that is bogus.
As the AG, he is a National Guard officer and answers to the Governor vs a Reserve Officer who answers to Washington. There is the Indiana National Guard and US Army and other service Reserve units in Indiana but there is no such thing as “Guard Reserve.” You are one or the other.
Anyone know why the military man to the right of Pence is NOT doing a hand salute?
That comment by Delanie Walker is especially ironic, since NFL fans responded by the many thousands to express condolences when his aunt and uncle were killed by a drunk driver on their way back from the 2013 Super Bowl. He can piss off.
Agree!
He is inside. He doesn’t need to salute. He renders honor by standing at attaention for the Anthem.
From the FM 7-21-13 chapetr 4
Salutes are not required when:
Indoors, unless reporting to an officer or when on duty as a guard.
A prisoner.
Saluting is obviously inappropriate. In any case not covered by specific instructions, render the salute.
Either the senior or the subordinate is wearing civilian clothes.
He would have enhanced the President’s and VP’s position by saluting and no one would have even said a word. That’s my point.
