But here is a DIFFERENT opinion, from "Saluting Bush", by George Caylor, at www.ontheRIGHTside.com:

"...Now to today's subject. Have you noticed a difference in the salute given by our military men and women as President Bush walks by? Most folks would not notice anything, but military people see it right away. Watch: when President Bush leaves his helicopter or Air Force One, the honor guards salute and face him as he disembarks, then turn their faces towards him as he passes by.

This is just more slander against the Corps and the Air Force and it's an Urban Legend:

Urban Legend about the salutes

Please do not dishonor our people in uniform by suggesting they would be this dishonorable and unprofessional. This garbage burns me up.

If you saw ever Clinton's sloppy salute, you would think he was grabbing his crotch.

I checked out the site you linked.
They talked to a public affairs Sargeant and by the article he identified the presidentual squadron as HM-1 Not HMX-1 so what you might say well an HM is a navy helicopter minesweeper squadron and there is only one HMX in the Marine Corps. Do I put any faith in that story, well having known members of HMX-1, let's just say they are very careful not to show any disrespect, that doesn't mean that sometimes they don't slip up.
