Pretty sure subordinates salute superior officers first... if anything the Korean general(?) is probably going to get tied to the end of a anti-aircraft gun.

It was with Obama. INGO had a complete conniption over the bowing incident.

I pretty sure we had 10 pages of ranting about the selfie stick.


I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but let's at least admit we've changed the rules because of the letter after the president's name. We have I don't know how many memes about liberals (mostly journalists) that flipped flopped on what's acceptable and right, then we do the same darn thing we profess to despise with nary a hint of self realization.

Don't forget when he saluted with a coffee in his hand as he got of an helicopter. INGO didn't like that either.

But anyways, I digress. To settle the question as to "who" you are supposed to salute: POTUS, MOH recipient, COs/WOs, and Officers of ALLIED foreign nations.
I don't think, yet, that North Korea could be considered an allied foreign nation.

Kut (is sure someone else dug this up, but isn't surprised they didn't post their findings)

People wearing civies shouldn't be saluting at all, either party, no party, whatever.

I agree. I think you're mentioned this before.

 

[HoughMade]

I agree. I think you're mentioned this before.

...and as I am repetitive and crotchety...and forgetful, I'll probably mention it a couple of more times.

Does not seem to be ruffling any feathers outside of the usual suspects in the media and here so pick a new hill, we've moved on already.

Florida man throws samurai sword at sheriff's deputies

Brevard County sheriff's deputies were responding to a 911 call Wednesday from a woman who said her son was threatening her with a pair of swords.

Florida Today reports when deputies arrived, they found 24-year-old Geoffrey Crane holding the samurai swords and he refused to put them down.

Investigators say Crane then threw one of the swords at the deputies. A stun gun was used to subdue Crane, who had a blood alcohol content of .36. The legal limit to drive is .08.

Ann Coulter suggests border kids are crisis actors.
Breitbart pushes it.
Trump Jr "likes" the tweet.
Newsweek reports that Trump Jr "liked" the tweet about kid crisis actors.

All four of these lines, on their own, fit the thread topic.

Oh, I know it is.

I knew a kid in high school who could get into that range and you wouldn't even know he'd been drinking. Until you found him passed out somewhere.

I couldn't agree more. I just shake my head and wonder what they could possibly be thinking.
