Thanks for the ping, JJ!

That homme faineant has no clue what the hand salute means either to the subordinate rendering it or to the superior returning it.

Of course, he has never served in the U.S. Military and has absolutely no right to render a military hand salute, even if he were able to do so or cared enough to execute it correctly.

Hand Salute to my Brothers and Sisters now serving or who have served in the past!

Two!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Libs have no clue about military culture, or how offensive that gesture was to somebody who understands or has lived a life of military traditions and culture. The fact that the clowns in the White House thought it was suitable for Instagram raises it from pathetic ignorance to a slap in the face for those who wear, or have worn the uniform.

I told somebody who didn’t “get what the big deal was” to imagine if Bush had said to one of his black Secret Service agents, “Boy, go fetch me some coffee.”

It’s the same sort of insulting insensitivity.

The disrespect shown by this temporary Oval Office occupier is is abominable. The contempt he shows to the Office, the military, and the American people seems to be without end. There is only two years left till this national embarassment ends. If we can only last that long.

If he had been President during WWII, Japanese and German languages would be core courses in public education today.

You would think that someone so intelligent would be able to figure that out.

On what do you base your intelligent comment. Your evidence: ___________________ (fill in the blank, please) I mean, seriously.

We had a Warrant Officer who was arrested on town and brought before the C.O. Prisoners do not salute while in custody, but this drunken W.O. did while in handcuffs. It was forever known in our unit as the W.O. Dupont salute or simply the DUpont.
