I bet that’s painful for him to have to try and show respect.

He could at least fake respect by learning protocol and not saluting at all .

I remember that the first thing Clinton aides did in the White House was piss off the military. That began a rocky relationship. Probably more of the same from Obama and his staff.

I read somewhere that 80% of the entire military voted for McCain-Palin.

Gonna be interesting to see how much revenge Obama enacts on these folks for voting against his communist punk-@ss.

I can’t believe this joke was elected president of our country.

WTF??

The more you think about it, the more shocking it really is. We elected a man that has ZERO accomplishments and experience. All he has ever done was deliver a speech at a DNC and defeat Hillary in the democrat primaries.

Those Marines don’t have to salute him! BHO is nothing. He isn’t their senior in any form nor their commander. What a jerk. Left-handed, no less.

Many are getting out. There will be a mass exodus just like the 2nd term of the Clinton regime. And with BHO’s intention to implement a civilian police force...you watch. There will also be a reinstatement of the draft. I’d bet every last dime.

I don't know who said it first but whoever coined the phrase "The great thing about America is that anybody can grow up to be president" sure as hell wasn't kidding.

I was wondering when that would come out. LOL He’s so much better at the middle finger salute.

If he returns a salute Right Handed & briskly... then adds his smile, When the troop is just an enlistee... He might pull it off.

Should he show the contempt that First Lady Hillary did, for the lowest ranks, He’ll have problems.
