A little high too as well, his hand, possibly him as well. If I recall shouldn't it be to the right of eyebrow? Guess it's just a navy salute.

I think the Navy as well as the USMC, (which I do know), is not allowed to salute while uncovered. We were never even taught anything about eyebrows, etc., Your hand position was judged by your cover(hat), arm at 45, bicep at 90 to your chest & in line with the shoulder, crisp return to the side and down.

Hanoi John's salute, allowing for his disdain of the military, 30 years of hatred towards his crewman (minus 3), botox knumbed forehead unable to assist in hand position, a couple of margaritas, a slow eye, huge amounts of self-control utilized to prevent himself from laughing his arse off at his own speech, while not raising even an eyebrow at radically wacked statements he probably can't even believe he said, he gets a 3 of a 1 - 10 scale.

A scum-bag war protester now pretending to embrace the military. Another Democrat phony, and whore.

Re: "Guess it's just a navy salute"

Humm think we're funny do we. Well in the Navy we were taught not to salute in civilian dress. I believe the proper form is a hand over the heart. But let us not be too hard on him, who knows what branches of the service he picked this up from during his antiwar days. (under my breath - army)
