Kamala Harris does not salute the military when she arrives at or steps off Air Force Two, unlike her predecessors former Vice Presidents Mike Pence and Joe Biden who both saluted the military, numerous videos show. In one video Harris seems more interested in fluffing her hair than showing respect to the men and women who serve the nation.
While there is no hard and fast protocol on Presidents and Vice Presidents saluting the military, President Ronald Reagan set the modern era precedent by saluting the officers stationed at the steps for Marine One and Air Force One. Every president since Reagan has maintained the tradition, even Barack Obama though sometimes holding his cup of coffee made the salute somewhat awkward.
Kamala Harris arriving in Jacksonville, Florida today:

She’s married to a white guy. I suspect her non-action has a lot more to do with her liberalism than her race.
Heels-up Harris only salutes the military of her ChiCom master, Xi Jinping.
True story:
Chelsea Clinton as a young spoiled brat in the White House, used to refuse to take the car rides to school with the uniformed military officer as driver. “I won’t ride with you. I hate the military. My father hates the military. And My mother hates the military.”
She despises the unwashed.
President Ronald Reagan set the modern era precedent by saluting the officers stationed at the steps for Marine One and Air Force One.Officers? OK, GP.
I don’t think saluting is required for the VP.
I've never seen a military officer at those steps. They usually enlisted NCO Marines.
Seems like nothing. The president is commander in chief and therefore has military rank but the VP has no rank.
After falling up the stairs three times, Biden turned around at the top and saluted the air.
The man has lost it.
Saluting the VPOTUS Is NOT required as they are not in the chain of command. It may be done as a courtesy or sign of respect but not mandatory as with the POTUS.
and also a POS.
She probably doesn’t even know any better either way but I’m sure she’s glad to give them the snub any way and any time she can.
Takes after Hillary. When she was First Lady, in Clinton’s first term, she passed by a man in uniform in the White House. Unformed man: “Good morning!” Hillary: “Go f**k yourself!”
Yes. The President is Commander in Chief of the military, and the salutes comes with that. But the Vice President is nothing. As a simple civilian, they should not salute her, and she should not salute them.
Did you think she would?
Now that The Long March through the military is almost over [with the coming Purge], I’m sure ALL the Clintons love the military...
Actually, the issue is returning the salutes that the guards give as they go up the steps to enter the plane. Since they are not military officers, there is no requirement they do so. Reagan returned the salutes, but then he was not only Commander in Chief, he was a Veteran.
Yes but does she raise her heels?
