I saw it too. I also remember that when the president first entered the helicopter as President, the marine not only saluted him, but turned to face him to receive his orders, a courtesy NEVER accorded to Clinton. As my friend says, leave it to the marines!

I'm really surpirised ANY conservative would try to put down the professionalism of the Corps in such a way!

This is a LIE!!!

Marines, above all else are PROFESSIONALS.

You DARE to suggest a Marine would be this callously unprofessional? What kind of American are you?

As proof, I give you this link to the snopes site. You are spreading urban legends and lies, bringing into doubt the professionalism of the Corps!

Truth about this Urban Legend

In the military, one salutes the rank, not the man.

I honestly cannot stand it when somebody would dare to bring down the Corps the way you have it. It turns my stomach and makes my blood boil. Klinton was a major league immoral a$$, bordering on traitorous, but suggesting a Marine would decide to directly disobey standing orders about protocol involving the office of the presidency he is assigned to serve is beyond the pale.

Are you really some kind of Democratic plant to try and pin such dishonor on a Marine and the Corps?
