People get worked up about Harris not saluting troops. The VP is not in the Chain of Command. She has no business saluting anyone.

A nod or word is appropriate. Not a salute.

I was thinking the same thing, although I have never taken note of other VPs and do not know the protocol. (Not that I want to ever give Camel Toe a break.)

That flip of the arm was not a salute. Weak.

Until Pres Reagan I never saw a POTUS return a salute. That’s back to Ike. It’s not protocol or tradition. POTUS is a civilian. If POTUS is expected to return salutes why is he not expected to salute during the National Anthem ?

Not being in the chain of command, why is the Vice-President saluted by service members?

I thought Reagan started the saluting thing and it became a custom but I could be wrong.

I notice she does not salute in the first video, but does in the second. Meaningless but the empty look at the top of the stairs is funny though.
