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.
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!”
Did you think she would?
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?
Civilians should not salute men in uniform.
FDR did not do it. Harry Truman did not do it. General of the Army Dwight David Eisenhower did not do it once he occupied a civil office. John F. Kennedy did not do it. LBJ did not do it.
The office of Commander in Chief of the Army and the Navy is a civilian position. I can, possibly, accept civilians who hold that office following this novel custom, although I personally do not believe they should.
But the Vice President? Who is not serving in the armed forces, who is not in the chain of command, and who does not deserve to be saluted nor to salute herself? That’s ridiculous.
Once again, the CIVILIAN CIC or VP or any politician is NOT required to return a salute from any military member. It is a custom that was started during the Reagan administration and has been copied by most of the following presidents.
Get this bitch out of our government
It’s often been said that the military is full of commies who hate the USA and love, love. love the Marxocrat left, so much so that most servicemen wouldn’t bat an eyelash at killing fellow Americans if ordered to do so. That may be true at the high command level but I continue to believe that most of the troops would more likely shoot at their own officers and the current gang of contemptible politicians. I know I would. And I say that as a Viet Nam vet. GOPee Delenda Est!
I don’t remember the VP being in my chain of command, has that changed? If not she has NO RIGHT to return a salute.
