They didn’t salute in the field in Nam either, for the same reason. Nothing new, except to journalists

I didn’t think you were supposed to salue indoors or when under arms. This simply shows how little the media understand military protocol. “No Hat, No Salute” means that the area is considered indoors. It is also military custom to remove your “headgear” indoors.

***They didnt salute in the field in Nam either,***
Yet, who can forget that cartoon in THE OVERSEAS WEEKLY, of a soldier helping a wounded comrade and an officer pointing to him and demanding from another officer..”Why isn’t that soldier saluting me!”
