Yahoo opening page shows a series of headlines with photos to choose from. The image accompanying the story of Obama honoring our veterans is telling. When I click through to read the AP referenced story by Nedra Pickler and Julie Pace, the image is not included in the photo gallery.

the AP/Yahoo image illustrates Obama standing amongst saluting veterans while this CiC does not salute, instead he has his right hand on his chest (the man has no heart).

As the current CiC, standing among the few surviving veterans and family of that era, shouldn't he also be saluting? Or is this just another example of how an administration dramatically short on military protocol & experience - just par for the course?

The President has more experts on etiquette than you can shake a stick at. I’ve no doubt he’s not supposed to salute. It’s when he breaks from etiquette that it stands out (see his odd fixation with bowing to people).

That anti-American Marxist bastard has no right to render a military salute!



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

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)
