I didn’t see one salute from Buy Dung until he finally hobbled to the top of the stairs. That might explain something.
I guess his earpiece didn’t tell him to salute.
“I didn’t see one salute from Buy Dung”
I did. Before he turned to go up the stairs he gave a pretty snappy salute. Actually, I thought his walk up to the stairs was telling. He had an ‘old-man’s’ gait (of course to be fair, he is an old man). By that I mean his head and neck were angled forward like you see when someone is using a walker. That and the fact that no one move to help him when he fell not once, but three times.
