Yes, and so is saluting the executive officer of the ship. I refused to salute mine, as he never once returned the salute. Once asked byt he captain why, I explained. The XO got his butt chewed, not me.
Common courtesies are for those who deserve them. I will grant them until the same is not returned or is no longer deserved. Fair enough?
Well, that's not the way I was raised here in the South. But if that's the way you see it, then so be it.
Bless your heart.
