Relating to your post...

In BKO's book, "THE FINAL DAYS", chapter three, "A vietman memorial", page 29, paragraph two and three...
" 'Clinton's military salute [was hard] to fix,' recalled George Stephanopolous. 'Sheepish at first, he seemed to be working out his internal conflicts every time he tentantively raised his hand. The tops of his finger would furtively touch his slightly bowed head, as if he were being caught at something he wasn't supposed to do.' (bibliographical note; Stephanopolous, All Too Human)
Some even noticed that when Clinton was president, marine guards failed to execute a right face to stand facing his back as he walked away. The marines somehow relearned this maneuver on January 20, 2001, when the new commander-in-chief, President George W. Bush, took office."

This President has class and respect from our soldiers and it's great to see!

If respect isn't mutual it's lopsided. That sums up x-42's relationship with the military. It was lopsided.

There was no give and take with x-42. All he ever did was take. As such, he received modest respect of the office but nothing more. It all comes back to my favorite Bushism "Help is On the Way". I believe the military was collectively awaiting a worthy commander-in-chief.

I believe Dubya's ratings are high partly because he is scandal free, it's not just about the war. You'll never hear this revelation on the alphabet networks.
